Full Review:
The colanders we know commonly come in metal forms. They are indeed functional, but storing them can be problematic. Our SolidSmack Household Appliance and Tool Research Team looked for the best colander offering innovative features to resolve this problem. With this, check out this model that prevailed among the 19 colanders we tested this 2021.

Far from the conventional steel models in the market, this colander from QIMH is silicone. This material, however, doesn’t make it less durable than its metal rivals. Its body is thick and the supports are rigid BPA-free materials. Moreover, the fact that this colander is silicone allows it to collapse for easy storage. You can reduce its 4.72” body to 1.69” in under a second by just pushing it down.

What makes it more attractive is the ability of the handles to extend. The colander basket measures 10” x 7” while the folded handles serving as the basket’s support are 15.55” x 10.2”. When you pull the handles, they will extend up to 24”. You can let the handles sit on the edge of the sink to elevate the basket. And with the basket now hanging over the sink floor, you can now just let the content rest in the basket to allow the excess water to drip down automatically.

We also really admire the handles’ non-slip texture, which assures you they won’t slip even on slippery sinks. On the other hand, if you want to use it as a basket on your counter, you will appreciate its anti-skid feet, which can keep it steady on surfaces.

This 2021 best colander also scored high in our test when it comes to capacity. It can handle up to 6 quarts, which is enough for 5 pounds of grapes or a bunch of vegetables you need to wash simultaneously. It can also tolerate up to 167°F, making it acceptable for draining water from pasta and other hot food items.
