Best I've seenMay 21, 2009
By B. Shaby

I've looked at a bunch of silicone colanders in stores. They tend to suffer from a couple of problems. The first is that they tend to have too few holes to drain water quickly. This sounds like a silly complaint, but it's really annoying to have a slow-draining colander when, for example, rinsing cooked pasta. This colander has plenty of holes, and consequently drains very quickly.
The second problem silicone colanders tend to have is that they are often flimsy and collapse easily. This Oxo stands up solidly on its own, and the metal frame is heavy enough to feel very solid.
Highly recommended!

Great cook's gadget!Nov 16, 2008
By S. Morgan
This colander is wonderful! It is big enough for vegetables, pasta, etc. But it collapses and takes up no space in your cabinet. My old colander takes up half the cabinet. I installed a sticky hook inside my cabinet door and I hang this colander there. What a space saver! And it's from OXO, just love all their products.

Easy to store...Oct 20, 2008
By Lynn
I purchased this colander for a gift so I can't comment too much on its functionality. I chose this one over the one without feet because of its hands-free use. I pushed it out, & stood it up to check its stability. The legs are about 1/2" high; the colander appears to be very sturdy, has strong easy to grip handles and should keep its shape when you pick it up to pour out the contents. It's dishwasher safe and can also be used for steaming vegetables. It's made in China.
UPDATE 4/2012: Every time I visit my daughter-in-law I use this colander. It is sturdy. I love it; it cleans up easily in the dishwasher too. I washed it by hand last time & was surprised how easy it was to clean.
I want to order one for myself, but I have a big, old plastic colander & nothing's wrong with it.

 Almost perfectSep 23, 2010
By M. K. Herman
This is a great colander - it has lots of drainage holes, great handles that don't get hot, it's strong enough to stand on its own in the sink even when I dump a potful of pasta & water into it (I've had other collapsible colanders tip or cave in under the weight), and of course it's nice to collapse it and slide it into a drawer.
My only complaint is that the little feet on the bottom are not quite high enough to keep the bottom of the colander up off the sink floor. This creates two problems: 1) with the colander standing in the sink on its own, the bottom holes are rendered useless and water tends to puddle in the bottom until I manually lift the colander; 2) Any germs lurking in my sink could now be touching the food inside the colander. Ew.

Excellent, Space-Saving Colander...Feb 15, 2011
By delicateflower152
Oxo Good Grips Silicone Collapsible Colander is an outstanding product, both in function and in its space-saving qualities. It is ideal for draining vegetables, fruits, or larger quantities of pasta than Oxo's smaller collapsible colander can handle.
When expanded, the colander is approximately 4 7/8 inches high; this includes a sturdy base that is 1/2 inch in height. The rim and base are solid; I had no concern that the colander would collapse when it was being used. The colander has an interior diameter of about 8 inches; drainage holes stop about 1 inch from the top rim. The holes are a little less than 1/8 inch in diameter, making this colander, if you cook angel hair pasta frequently, a better choice than Oxo's smaller collapsible which has larger holes. When collapsed, this colander is approximately 1 3/4 inches high and is about 13 inches long from the outer edge of one handle to the outer edge of the other. I was able to stack my smaller Oxo collapsible, as well as a small saucepan, on top of this colander without problems.
I am very pleased with this collapsible colander and have retired my old metal colander which takes up a significant amount of space. Amazon did not have the gray version at the time I made my purchase. However, Amazon definitely has the best price on this item and if I need another, I will definitely purchase it here!
