FAQs
What material is the colander made of?
The OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Colander is made of durable stainless steel.
Is this colander dishwasher safe?
Hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to maintain the finish and prevent water spots. While stainless steel can withstand dishwashers, hand washing is the preferred method for optimal results.
What is the capacity of this colander?
This specific model has a 5-quart capacity.
Can this colander nest with any mixing bowl?
It is designed to nest specifically with OXO mixing bowls of corresponding sizes for optimal fit and storage.
How do the feet help?
The five feet elevate the colander, providing stability on countertops and in the sink, and allowing water to drain away freely without the colander sitting in a puddle.
How should I clean stubborn residue?
For stubborn residue, use a non-abrasive sponge or brush with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.
Troubleshooting
Colander has water spots.
Hand wash the colander and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth immediately after use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.
Food items are slipping through the holes.
Ensure food items are of a size that will be retained by the perforations. For very small grains or seeds, a finer mesh sieve may be more appropriate.
Colander feels unstable in the sink.
Ensure the colander is placed evenly on the sink basin or countertop, with all five feet making contact. Distribute weight evenly when filling.
