Colander – Kitchen Utensil

This folding colander by Joseph Joseph is a fun and colourful addition to modern kitchen.  I saw the colander in John Lewis and I was captivated by how it looks as well as the design.  Very funky looking, and updated version of the 70s Tupperware, much loved by housewives and homemakers. 🙂

A colander is every cook’s gadget in food preparation.  It is a perforated bowl that is useful in straining and draining food like pastas, beans, boiled vegetables prior to cooking and after cooking.  It is also used to drain washed vegetables and salad.

I would love the above colander for Christmas, it would be a lovely addition to my growing collection of Joseph Joseph kitchen utensils.

The above colander is made from plastic but they can also come in metal.  Some come with base and some don’t, which look like a sieve.
