GoodCook PRO Collapsible Colander, 2.75qt

I hesitated to buy this item, because I enjoy high quality and good looking kitchen equipment and rubber does not exactly meet that description. Still, what sold me was the need for a colander that would fit into one of he increasingly small spaces left in my kitchen. A colander is typically a space hog, and my drawers and cupboards are pretty full. It's an item I use often, and don't want to tuck it in the back behind the slow cooker I rarely use and that old coffee pot I can't throw out. So I took a chance on these collapsible colanders, and I'm really pleased with them. They're large enough to hold a full pot of pasta, have sturdy little legs that pop out of the bottom, and - when not in use - take up almost no room. The handles are large and easy to grasp, and the rubber is not slippery so there's little danger of your pasta landing on the floor. Just push slightly on the inside, and the flat colander becomes a generously sized and sturdy bowl in which to drain anything that needs draining. Easy to clean, push on the bottom, and it goes flat again and can be tucked into a corner even if it's quite a small corner. This one is a winner, for a very reasonable price.
