What is the diameter of this colander?
This colander measures 16 cm in diameter.
Can I use this for hot pasta?

Will the black finish peel off?
With proper care—specifically avoiding abrasive sponges and dishwashers—the finish is designed to remain intact.
Is the base stable on wet surfaces?

Troubleshooting
Water pooling at the bottom
Ensure that the drainage holes are not blocked by larger food items; give the colander a gentle shake to encourage flow.
Surface finish appears dull
Avoid using harsh chemicals or dishwasher detergents. Clean only with mild dish soap and a soft cloth.
Handle feels loose
Check the rivets connecting the handles to the body. Ensure they have not been subjected to excessive weight or impact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for this product; simply unpack and rinse before the first use. It is compatible with all standard kitchen sink sizes, though its 16 cm diameter makes it particularly easy to stow in crowded cabinets or hang on kitchen racks. To maintain the integrity of the black stainless steel finish, avoid using abrasive scrubbers or steel wool. We recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and drying immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and preserve the exterior appearance.
