RSVP Endurance Precision Pierced Stainless Steel 5-Quart Colander

This "Endurance Precision Pierced 18/8 Stainless Steel -- 5 qt." is a high quality colander from RSVP International, Inc. I simply love it, and I use it mainly to drain pasta, rice and steamed vegetables. I purchased this item after reading the reviews by America's Test Kitchen / Cook's Illustrated. Highly recommended.

After burning hands spending tens of quid on multiple colanders on market, I bought this bit pricey Colander and I am not disappointing this time! :) This product arrived from US. The item is of top quality and a stunning beautiful piece. I have been using this from last two weeks, mainly to drain cooked rice. Rice doesn't pass through the holes and starch water drains perfectly. I am also using this to clean other raw and cooked vegetables. Unlike other colanders on the market, the cooked rices doesn't stick to it. The cleaning is easy and doesn't need scrubbing. Its a wonderful piece and the raised base provides no contact with the base of sink so you can simply place it your sink and drain hot water. This is almost similar to the one you will find it Lakeland store but I preferred this as it is bit bigger and it doesn't have that blue grip on top of stainless steel handles and base. I felt that grips on the Lakeland colanders are not good enough and may spoil when you use it regularly to drain boiling water.

I'm no foodie, so I would have said NO before I bought this one. I chose this one after I purchased one that didn't work. How can a colander not work? It's only function is to drain. Well the one I bought collected water at the bottom of the colander and didn't drain. It was an awkward size and uncomfortable to hold. I read the Cooks Illustrated review that rated this one as excellent. I was surprised to find that this is true. Both my partner and I, for different reasons, find this one top notch. This colander is light weight, has good grip, a nice stand for the bottom of the sink so the water can pour out, and it has very tiny holes for perfect drainage. It works like a charm. While it is expensive, it is also an excellent product. I give this one a nod of the head!

America's Test Kitchen team says this 5 quart colander is the best one available. It's the only one they recommend if you're looking at setting up a kitchen with essential kit. I have just tried it and I am sorry I didn't get one 20 years ago.

Excelente producto, el mejor escurridor qué hay!

As recommended by ATK. This is an excellent stainless steel strainer that’s good for hot or cold foods. I like so many others are making the shift back to old school methods and products and am ridding my kitchen of plastics and the chemicals that leach out from them when hot food comes in contact with it. The stainless steel is rust resistant, I hand wash and towel dry after each use and its size is perfect for me and my cooking. The quality is obvious making this an excellent value that will last through years of use when taken care of.
