A must addition to any kitchen utensils and accessories, a colander is a bowl-shaped kitchen utensil with perforations for draining off liquids and rinsing food. Colanders are used for washing or draining all kinds of vegetables and fruits, beans, or pasta and for straining solids from stock.
Made of solid copper, colanders are generally available in variety of sizes. Elegant-looking Copper Colanders may be Nickel Lined and are family keepsakes. Copper is a great heat conductor; hence these colanders can also be used to drain off pasta, as it will retain heat longer. The handles and feet of the colanders may be made either of brass, copper or some other metal.
