How to use

Place the colander in a sink or on top of a bowl, add the food to be rinsed or drained, and run water over the contents until clean. For draining pasta or boiled vegetables, lift the colander and allow water to flow away, or give it a short shake to remove excess liquid. After use, wash the colander with warm soapy water or place it in the top rack of the dishwasher if the material allows; always check for food residues in the perforations and rinse thoroughly.

Usage recommendations

Use the colander on a stable surface to avoid tipping when handling heavy or hot contents. Allow very hot liquids to cool slightly before pouring into the colander to protect hands and the product. Clean promptly after use to prevent food build-up in the perforations and to maintain hygienic conditions.
