Colanders come in many shapes and sizes. Some are large while others are small. They are extremely versatile in the kitchen, or for the table. Some of my customers say they love the large one's and use them on the counter for fruits, etc...while the smaller one's they use for fruit desserts. So not only are they great for draining, they have many other uses. These are dishwasher safe. Any size, style, shape you want! or would you like us to design an original just for you!
