Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the expandable design work?
A: The colander has an adjustable telescoping frame that extends outward. Simply pull both sides apart to match your sink’s width, then rest the rubber-tipped ends on the sink edges. No tools or installation needed.
Q: Will this fit my sink?
A: The expandable frame adjusts to fit a wide range of sink widths. Choose the Small size for narrower or compact sinks, and the Large size for standard to wide kitchen sinks.
Q: Does the rubber grip scratch the sink?
A: No — the rubber-tipped ends are designed to grip the sink edge securely without scratching stainless steel, ceramic, or composite sink surfaces.
Q: Can I use this to drain pasta?
A: Yes! Simply hold the colander over the sink and pour your cooked pasta directly into it to drain — or place it over the sink first and pour the pasta pot directly into the basket.
Q: Is this dishwasher safe?
A: Stainless steel colanders are generally dishwasher safe. For longevity, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to maintain the rubber grips and mesh quality.
Q: What’s the difference between the Small and Large sizes?
A: The Small is ideal for smaller kitchen or prep sinks. The Large fits standard and wide kitchen sinks and has a larger basket capacity for draining bigger batches of produce or pasta.
