 Cheap - Don't Buy!Dec 12, 2009
By exmuse
If you're planning to buy a colander go for the stainless steel variety. I made the mistake of buying one of these enamel on steel ones a year ago. The paint started chipping on the bottom, bubbles started to form and it has become rustier and rustier over time. It seems that the enamel doesn't handle hot temperatures very well. Hmmm? Well, if you are planning to drain pasta, vegetables or anything else from the stove from a container that has hot water in it, you're going to have a problem. But isn't that what these colanders were designed to do? That is, withstand hot water.

 Nice looking, but...Jun 01, 2007

This product looks nice, but was quick to rust around the bottom. I still use, but it will soon be retired to the garage to be used as a planter or something. Not sure I'd purchase again.

 Attractive, Functional, Durable!Mar 02, 2008
By D.B.
I've had this for quite some time and it has held up very well. As the title states, this is (as with most enamel kitchen items) ENAMEL ON STEEL. I treat it exactly as I do my enamel tea kettle - hand washing only and wiping dry after each use. Enamel does take a little extra care but ours gets a LOT of use, and is more than worth it. This is so convenient, especially after using the plastic colanders (with no raised base) that sit flat in the sink and soak in the very water being drained. The price is impossible to beat, as well. When this is sitting on the counter top, it's also a practical way to display non-refrigerated fruit or vegetables!
Rusted!Aug 24, 2011

Don't bother, unless you are planning to replace it yearly. Rust quickly forms. I bought it for my wife because she liked the look, but we should have chosen a stainless steel colander.
Functional, but...May 09, 2010
By Joshua D. Auerbach

As others have noted, water eventually gets under the paint and rusts the metal, which is both unattractive and perhaps unsafe once the paint starts to peel. That said, we did get many years of good service from ours. But it's headed for the trash bin, to be replaced by one made of stainless steel.
