How to use

Usage recommendations
To prolong the life of the colander, avoid prolonged exposure to corrosive cleaners and soak only briefly when removing stubborn residues. Dry thoroughly after washing to maintain the stainless steel finish. For safe handling, use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when draining very hot liquids.
