OXO Good Grips 8-Inch Double Rod Strainer, Black

Sturdy and gets the job done! Not too big, not too small.

This is a well-made strainer that has held up well over time. It is used often and goes through the dishwasher often. No signs of rust.

OK, listen to me. Every time I use this strainer, and I use it often, I think that I should do a review because I'm so impressed, after 8 years! Do not worry about the price. You won't have to replace it, at least not for a very long time. Seriously, I see no signs of wear. And I most often use it to strain the extra water out of a package of frozen spinach, which means pressing down on the mess quite firmly (I support the underside with my other hand when I do this, though--I'm not stupid). The mesh is still perfect, the finish is great, the rubber handle is fine, everything! And I wash it in the dishwasher every time! And it's a great size for smaller straining jobs (get a bigger one if you want to strain a whole batch of spaghetti or something). And the length of it is perfect to straddle the edges of my sink so it's hands free! If this review sounds too good to be true, just believe me. It's that good, or I wouldn't have bothered to review it 8 years later!

I purchased this strainer mainly to sift flour. Very nice to place over bowl and sift flour with other ingredients (salt, baking power, sugar, etc). Strainer is sturdy and fairly easy to clean by wiping with a towel and then wash.

I have recently started to do alot more baking and also using a deep fryer for cooking turkeys, onion rings, etc. and also frying doughnuts.I am hoping to open a B&B next year and need to try out many different receipes to see the cost involved and also the time required to make them. After all, as in any job, time is money. Another important consideration is how well things pass the taste test. Believe me, my friends are loving it. lolIt came to my attention after needing to strain oil and also flour and 10X sugar that I did not have a versitale strainer. I remember my Grandmother had several and used them often but her's either were to old or "missing".After alot or contemplation over the various strainers available I decided on this one OXO Good Grips 8-Inch Double Rod Strainer. So far it has actually exceeded my expectations.I have used it to strain the oil from the deep fryer and also to sift flour and also confectionary sugar onto Ebelskivers: Danish-Style Filled Pancakes And Other Sweet And Savory Treats for a finishing touch. I can not recommend the Ebelskivers high enough either. They are so light and airy and you can make them for any time of day meal. Do yourself a favor and check them out. Also, if you think you may like them, try the Norpro 3113 Cast-Aluminum Nonstick Aebleskiver Stuffed-Pancake Pan, works great and no mess clean up.Anyways, back to the strainer.It is a double mesh strainer which allows it to be so versitale. Cleaning is a snap by just rinising it in water after use.So, in conclusion, if you are looking for a strainer I recommend this one. Granted it may be a bit pricey but it will definitely replace any need to buy different mesh strainers or for that matter a flour sifter. The size is also ideal because you can do so many things with it without it being way to large or way to small.

Well made, attractive and functional--like pretty much everything by Oxo!This strainer is just fine enough to be useful for applications where you can't have big holes--such as draining couscous. But the holes aren't too small to make it generally useful. It is also my go to for everything else--washing blueberries, a small amount of pasta etc.The size is perfect for most household tasks...it fits over a large bowl or pyrex container. It is dishwasher safe.If I don't give it a fifth star it is for the simple reason that I would prefer an all metal handle. I really don't understand the point of a plastic handle for a strainer...I have one with an attractive metal handle by another company (a pricey Euro brand I can't find any more of) and it never gets hot even when using it to strain pasta right out of the pot or other hot food.I don't like the plastic handle because it is less attractive than an all metal handle, less comfortable (at least for my small hands!) and raises the risk that it can melt if I am careless and leave the handle too close to a flame. No strainer handle should be over a flame, but if I make a mistake it will take longer to cause a problem!

This is the second purchase of this strainer. I needed an extra one and definitely wanted another of these. It's sturdy and the handle is easy to grip.

This strainer worked great for about 2 months...and then the handle broke off. I must have received a dud.Fortunately, the folks at OXO were great and sent a replacement immediately.So, you can't go wrong here. If something goes haywire with this strainer, OXO seems keen on making things right.

It's metal so it's solid. My old plastic one broke apart when I jiggled it up and down to drain something heavy.

Excelente colador. Lo utilizo para cernir harina y es muy bueno; lo recomiendo totalmente.

I'm really pleased with this. Good size and sturdy. Washed well.

Toujours une belle qualité pour cette marque, belle passoire de taille fonctionnelle.

Strains quinoa perfectly, without losing a single grain. Works a treat for rice and porridge as well. Super easy to clean too and dries very quickly.
