FAQs
Is this colander suitable for straining hot pasta?

Can I put this in the dishwasher?

Troubleshooting
Water spots appearing on the black exterior
Wipe the surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth immediately after washing to prevent mineral deposits from tap water.
Food residue stuck in fine drainage holes
Use a soft-bristle brush to gently dislodge trapped particles, then rinse under a high-pressure spray from your kitchen faucet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This colander requires no assembly and is ready for immediate use. To maintain the integrity and appearance of the black finish, it is recommended to wash the colander with mild soap and warm water. While it is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is a gentle alternative that will keep the surface looking pristine longer. Always ensure the colander is completely dry before storing it, especially around the base and the underside, to prevent any residual water buildup. The unit is compatible with standard kitchen sinks and is heat-resistant, making it suitable for draining freshly boiled ingredients directly from the stovetop.
