What is the benefit of vertical draining holes?

Are these colanders suitable for large kitchens?

Troubleshooting

Colander does not stand upright stably.

Ensure the colander is placed on a flat, stable sink surface. Check that no food debris is obstructing the base. The design relies on a level base for stability.

Water is draining slowly.

Check the vertical draining holes for any blockages from food particles. Rinse the colander thoroughly to clear the holes. Ensure the colander is not completely submerged in standing water.

Handles feel uncomfortable.

The ergonomic handles are designed for a specific grip. Experiment with how you hold the vertical handles to find the most comfortable position for your hand size and the task.

Colanders do not nest together properly.

Ensure both colanders are clean and dry. They are designed to fit snugly; try rotating one slightly to align the stacking contours correctly.
