Amazon.com Review
Make efficient use of valuable kitchen sink space with Oneida's expanding colander. Easy to size with two rubber handles that slide out to rest securely on the sink's rim, the fine mesh basket hangs between them in the air, so it doesn't get contaminated by other food, liquids, or soap suds on the sink floor. The oval basket measures 13-1/4 by 9 inches and is crafted of durable stainless steel that resists corrosion, stains, and odors. Steel rods frame the colander for added strength, and four loop legs support it so it can be set on a counter or tabletop. Perfect for kitchens with only one sink or small spaces where every inch counts, this colander stores easily in a drawer when not in use. The handles extend up to 22 inches to fit larger sinks. For quick and convenient cleanup, the colander goes safely into the dishwasher. --Kara Karll

 Great functionality but..... January 20, 2006

I love the capacity, the allover mesh for thorough draining and handles for off-sink useage; however, there is a lip circling the interior under the handles that annoyingly captures food when the strainer is flipped over to be washed.
So for large items this strainer is fine, but use a regular one for smaller or "flakeable" items that could get caught under the lip like cooked broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, etc

This is "DA BOMB." Fits perfectly over the sink to drain pasta with no backwash. Takes up some serious room in the diswasher, but comes out sparkling. Beats any other colander/strainer I've ever had. Get it!

No need to set your colander on the bottom of the sink and risk getting stuff seeping back in through the bottom. This expands and leaves plenty of room underneath for draining and rinsing. I can't believe I used to use a standard round colander.
Great for Pasta, Not so good for Grains March 11, 2006

I purchased this hoping it would be a great grain strainer. It turned out to be an excellent pasta strainer, but the holes in the mesh are too large for grain straining.
 Holes Too Small March 3, 2007

I've used this colander for close to two years, and am sort of surprised by the positive comments on Amazon here. I regularly use it for noodles, stuffed pastas, and more. I'm now looking for a new colander because the holes to drain the water are just too small, so bits of food tend to get stuck in them, and then it's almost impossible to clean. Sure it works, but the maintenance is too much for me.
