How to use

Place the ORION metal colander in the sink or over a suitable bowl, pour in the contents to be drained and allow water to pass through the perforations. For hot foods such as pasta, use oven gloves or a tea towel to protect hands from heat when handling the colander. After use, rinse the colander with warm water and dish detergent to remove food residues; for thorough cleaning, wash in the upper rack of a dishwasher if the metal finish is dishwasher-safe.

Usage recommendations

Handle the colander with care when draining very hot liquids; support the base or rim to avoid spills. Avoid prolonged exposure to highly acidic or salty solutions to preserve the metal surface. Store in a dry place to prevent moisture-related discoloration and check manufacturer guidance before using aggressive cleaning agents.
