Product Information
Full details
The Apollo 3Qt Stainless Steel Colander is a versatile kitchen essential designed for home cooks who frequently drain pasta, wash fresh produce, or rinse vegetables. Its primary strength lies in its long-handle design, which offers improved safety and control when working with boiling water or heavy loads; however, users with limited storage space should note that the handle length adds to its total footprint compared to standard bowl-style colanders.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Apollo colander in top condition, simply place it in your dishwasher after each use. While the unit is durable, avoid using abrasive steel wool pads to prevent fine scratches on the polished surface. For manual cleaning, use warm soapy water and a soft cloth or brush to clear any debris from the perforations. When storing, ensure the unit is dry before placing it in a cabinet, and utilize the long handle to hang the colander on a kitchen hook if drawer space is limited.
