How to use

Place food into the colander and hold by the side handles while rinsing under running water or tipping to drain. For hot food such as freshly cooked pasta, allow brief settling before pouring to avoid splashes; use oven mitts if needed when handling very hot items. After use, empty remaining water and wipe or wash the colander under warm soapy water, then dry thoroughly to maintain the surface appearance.

Usage recommendations

Use the ORION Retro colander on a flat surface or inside a sink to ensure stability when draining. Avoid prolonged contact with highly acidic or salty solutions to preserve the surface finish; dry after washing to reduce the risk of discoloration. For heavy or very hot loads, support the colander with both hands by the handles.
