great for an apartment

"This is a great if you live in a small place and want to conserve space. Sometimes its a bit of a hassle to open and close, but can't imagine a way around that unless you went with a hard plastic."

FABULOUS colander!
Date: June 7, 2009
"This colander has been one of my best buys yet! It has held up very well despite many uses and dishwasher cycles, and still looks brand new! I absolutely LOVE that it is collapsible, given my limited cabinet space in the city. Great buy, and awesome bang for your buck!"

A great space saver
Date: June 1, 2009
"My husband just HAD to have this... and I was pleasantly surprised how well it works. Easily opens and collapses, washes well in top or bottom of dishwasher and the best part of all, it fitsin a drawer. Definitely the best colander we'll ever have!"

All around great product

"LOVE these colanders! I recently got married and included these on my registry. They work great whether you're steaming vegetables, washing fruit, or making pasta, but my favorite thing about them is that they collapse to conserve storage space."

"This has quickly become the most useful item in our kitchen. We use it as a colandar as well as a steamer and it takes up virtually no space in the cabinets. I would highly recommend buying one!"

Collapsible Colander
Date: May 27, 2009
"I've been using this colander for a couple of months and love it! It is dishwasher safe and flattens for minimal storage. It also has feet that keep it elevated while draining. Plus, it looks different than regular colanders, which I think is always good!"
