Good Grips Colander
Best durable strainer for home cooks needing stability and efficient draining.
This is the rare colander that actually stays put in the sink, thanks to a wide, five-footed base that eliminates the usual tipping anxiety. It lacks the collapsible space-saving gimmicks of cheaper models, but you get a rock-solid, stainless steel workhorse that drains pasta in seconds.
