Product Description

Amazon.com Review
A required tool in the home of a seasoned cook, this strainer has a fine-grid mesh for draining the excess liquid from just about any food, including fruit, vegetables, and pasta. The wide stainless- steel brim and loop make it easy for the strainer to rest on almost any bowl or pot, and the double-rod construction makes it extra sturdy. And it comes with a hanging loop for convenient storage. The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

Just what I needed December 26, 2008
Joseph Giunta (New Jersey)
I was looking for a very fine strain mainly to use to strain very small grains such as quinoa which needs to be rinsed before cooking. This strainer is perfect and is also very well constructed.

I have owned any number of strainers over the years, but never one like this. It is thoughtfully designed and made of quality materials. I am looking forward to many years of service from this strainer.
I love this tool! October 29, 2008
Amiable Cook (California girl)
Bought both the 6" and 8" Oxo sieves. Useful every day for cooking tasks; for boiling little bits of things to go along what's in the pot, or for straining what comes out of it. Great size and sturdy construction. (Although I think they are too expensive. After all, they are only strainers to remove water from food.)
For multitude of tasks and uses October 9, 2008

I find that all the items I get for my kitchen form the OXO brand are just perfect. It's reliable and not expensive and the rubber handles that they always use are awesome, nothing slips and falls out of my hands. This is meant for sauces, to make them smooth and silky but I really use it for just about anything. The 6" diameter is large enough to strain potatoes and pasta, I usually don't cook for an army so if I was feeding more than 2 -3 people I would get the large size as well, but so far this has worked out perfectly. I still want to get a nice colander but when I'm draining something quickly this is easy to hold with one hand and pot or pan in other over the sink for a quick drain. The rubber handle takes the pressure of the hand and makes any job easier; I can really hold everything in one hand without bending my wrist in unnatural angles.
The mesh basket is very well made and tightly woven, it lets all the liquid through without a problem and I never loose any food since the spaces are very small. After months of use and washing the shape doesn't have any dents in it and it's a cinch to wash, overall I use this anytime I wash fruits or drain pasta, potatoes and any veggies, its great for soaking anything that I want to remove quickly and all at once, like dried mushrooms or beans and so far no rust. Heck, you can even put powder sugar in this or flour for baking and sieve it to perfection. I love buying kitchen tools and gadgets, problems is washing it all and running out of space, but its fun and it makes cooking and eating that much more pleasant.
