Bellemain Micro-Perforated Stainless Steel Colander – 3 Qt & 5 Qt, Dishwasher Safe

Effortless draining with micro-perforations

Meet the Bellemain micro-perforated stainless steel colander, a kitchen tool designed to simplify everyday tasks. The defining feature is its micro perforations: tiny, closely spaced holes that drain water quickly while preventing food from slipping through. This design shines when you’re draining rice, pasta, beans, or grains, helping you drain efficiently with less mess. A stable draining ring base keeps the bowl steady on the counter, so you can guide water away without the risk of tipping or leaving a puddle behind. The colander’s cool, solid heft and smooth rim add a tactile sense of reliability as you rinse produce or lift the colander from the pot.

Durable, dishwasher-safe construction

Crafted from 18/8 stainless steel, this colander resists rust and maintains a polished look even after regular washing. Riveted handles provide a secure grip, while the overall build is designed to withstand the demands of a busy kitchen. Best of all, it’s fully dishwasher safe, making cleanup quick and easy after meals or prep sessions.

Two practical sizes for varied tasks

Choose between 3 quart and 5 quart capacities to suit small batches or larger family meals. The small-hole perforations are capable of straining tiny grains and beans as well as fruits and vegetables, offering flexibility across cooking tasks. The combination of size and perforation pattern helps you drain efficiently without overflows or soggy results.

• Fast drainage without tilting or puddling
