A versatile workhorse in the kitchen perfect for straining pastas, canned beans, or for rinsing fruits and vegetables. Colander measures approximately 11.25" in diameter at its widest and base 6.125" diameter. Features two easy grip handles. Measures approximately 13.625" L (including handles), x 11.25" W x 4.5" H overall. Holds approximately 5 quarts of dry ingredients. Features small strainer holes, so rice, spaghetti or small fruit can’t fall through holes. Tiny, closely spaced holes also means your food drains fast without having to tilt the bowl.
