Progressive®'s Collapsible Over-The-Sink Colander is an indispensible kitchen tool. Most collanders are difficult to balance at the sink, and equally difficult to store after use. This creative colander, with a hard base, soft center, and hard, adjustable handles, solves both of those problems!
When I'm handling hot steamed veggies or pasta, it's difficult to keep the collander in place as I pour the water from my pot to drain. I don't like when my collander rolls around the sink I've been using for cooking. Scraps and various ingredients are sometimes left at the botom of the sink before cleaning, and I don't want them getting caught in my colander. Progressive®'s Collapsible Over-The-Sink Colander has arms that extend up to 24 inches for placement over the sink. Thus, the handles make it possible for the colander to rest comfortably and securely above the sink's bottom.
Many colanders are also round and roll around, even when they are placed on the counter. Progressive's colapsible colander is designed with hard legs, which keep the colander sturdy on flat surfaces. It won't roll around!
One of my favorite features about this colander, however, aside from its six-quart capacity, is that it's collapsible! It's so difficult to store a large, round collander in my cabinets around my pots and pans. It takes up a ton of space and makes getting to my other pans and items tricky. Not to mention, my round colander takes up so much space in my dishwasher. This colander, in contrast, is collapsible, making cabinet storage super easy! And, it takes up far less space in my dishwasher.
Because, the colander is collapsible, I can also adjust its size, depending on the amount of food placed in it. This makes handling much less clumsy. This is important when handling hot foods. The less splashing and excess space the colander allows, the less likely I am to burn myself.
I'm not sure how modern cooks every survived before Progressive®'s Collapsible Over-The-Sink Colander. They certainly have no reason not to own it now!
