Reddit mentions: The best colanders

Fear cuts deeper than swords

OOH I LOVE SCAVENGER HUNTS. Placeholder. I'm working on this. Goodbye sunday night productivity.

EDIT Aug 11, 11:44pm PST

1.) something that is gray.

2.) Something reminiscent of rain. It rains so much in my city and on those days I like to have my tea and soup and all the yummy hot homecooked food at school in the library while I study. I already have a great thermos for my tea and hot cocoa but not for my soups/food.

3.) Something food related that is unusual. I don't know if this is necessarily food related but WOOOO TEA. MANA-TEA. Seriously this is awesome.

4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. A wii for my mom because she has been wanting a wii or ipad for a long time. My bro and i think the wii would be better because at least we could all play it together when we go home to visit.

5.) I will recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It's the book I just finished reading and I feel like it has helped me a lot. I am so much more motivated and driven and it is helping me make some tough choices in my life. I am a senior in college but this book can help anyone who is at any place in their life I think. I currently have this on my wishlist which is like a supplement to the book. Seriously though, read it, share it with everyone you know. Let's make the world a happier place.

6.) An item that is less than a dollar. Awww yeee. They always seem to have one of these on the coffee table at my brother's house. Wherever he lives. Even though it's never his. But yeah, they're cool but I don't actually want one.

7.) Something related to cats. THIS IS SO AWESOME. I have another mug with the disappearing thing on my wishlist too. But yeah, I love cats, I just don't have much cat stuff on my wishlist. I do need a real cat though... hint hint nudge nudge

EDIT Aug 12, 12:15am PST

8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it. Okay it's not Amazon but it is beautiful and I have had my eye on it for a year. Despite that fact that I do not plan on having children for at least 8 years. Dem hormones are a'ragin.

9.) I know it's not REALLY a movie but... A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why? Because it is so beautiful and awe inspiring. It really brings me a sense of peace every time I watch it.

10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain. I can put on my holy strainer hat and pray to The Flying Spaghetti Monster to save me from the zombies.

11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. I know I used this for another one but really, I think doing these exercises would help me in all areas of life.

12.) One of those pesky Add-On items. These beauties, even though I doubt I can grow them without a yard...

13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why? My little acer hand me down freezes a lot, can't do multiple things at once, doesn't have a cd drive, has a screen too tiny to edit photos or edit my website. Basically everything is frustrating. And I'm a college student. So I use the computer for basically everything... and everything the little laptop CAN do takes forever.

EDIT Aug 12, 1:51am PST

14.) Something bigger than a bread box. If you don't think that is big enough, then here, but it's newly added.

15.) Something smaller than a golf ball. Well, I'm pretty sure this is smaller than a golf ball. If it wasn't, I'd be disappointed.

16.) Something that smells wonderful. Mmm imagine the ginger lemon grass!

17.) A (SFW) toy. And here's another one because I couldn't decide which one looks more fun...

18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school.

19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be. Currently obsessed with learning all kinds of new jewelry techniques! Also obsessed with tea because it's the one thing my boyfriend and I developed an interest in together. It didn't start out as either of our interests.

20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand. THIS IS SO PRETTY AND USEFUL AT THE SAME TIME. Seriously so cute, has lovely details, 8gb, and you can wear it as a pendant. Whaaaat!

EDIT: this lovely is made in oregon!

Wonderful, good luck with the move!!

Things like this which save space but are much needed (especially for cheap eats like pasta!) are great. You can run out of kitchen space very easily, so saving space is great. Also, check out poundland - I'm pretty sure they sell these, and positive they sell lots of other nice little kitchen bits and pieces.

I see everyone is covering the really essential stuff - I totally second that. You'll only realise you don't have a can opener/corkscrew/potato masher/spatula when you need one!

EVERY house needs these - fairly sure they're compulsory by law.

For jazzing up your cooking, or to achieve the same and also have some living things sharing the space with you, fresh!

I'm trying to think of purely useful stuff - if you're living on your own, tupperware is a must! Otherwise you'll find yourself wasting tons of food!

Hope the move goes well :)

It sounds like your cooking is pretty similar to mine, day in and day out.

Get as big a cast iron skillet as your stove can handle - it will take the place of a wok for a lot of meals and also be able to handle bigger sautes for folks who like a lot of good veg.

Definitely look at a pressure cooker; I have an unreasonable bias against slow cookers, based on eating too many things from them when they were a novelty, but must admit that used well they are the flip side of a pressure cooker.

A silly thing, but one I love is good containers for mise. The silicon cups are darn pretty too. I use my immersion blender only one or two times a month, but find that it gives me a lot of control without requiring a major clean up.

If you have a favorite chef's knife, make sure you get a cutting board that is 2 inches longer on the diagonal than the blade of the knife. Bigger is fine if you have the room, but that proportion is the minimum for chopping happiness.

I have an over the sink suspended colander that I love for a lot of reasons. It is like this one. You can drain pasta obviously, but you can also leave eggplant that you choose to salt, a sticky rice basket that is waiting for the water to come to temp, salad greens that are dripping still and a bunch of other stuff just hanging, out of the way.

Congratulations on tying the knot. May your marriage be as happy as ours was!

You should get this because you might not think that you need one until you're making spaghetti and don't have one. Also a can opener is super important.

As for my item, anything from my default wishlist would be super helpful (or a gift card to save towards the larger items on there)

Also, you're pretty in a manly giggidywarlock kind of way ;) Congrats on your new house :)

I ordered Life Extension Bifido Gi Balance capsules on AmazonThis is what I use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008968GLW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Whole milk - it seems that people recommend using regular whole milk (non organic or raw etc.) because it yields the best result in making the yogurt. If you want less whey/waste, use Fairlife brand milk Whole. It is ultra-pasteurized but expensive.

I probably have to buy a whisk for stirring, a cheesecloth for straining, a food thermometer for checking temperature, maybe containers to keep the yogurt in, and large-cube ice tray for freezing the starter.I'd recommend a strainer such as this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MRDZXXK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1And these bags, big enough for a gallon, instead of cheesecloth: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071CWTLY5/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Starter: from what I understand, you have to make the "Starter" first, which is basically a small, concentrated batch of yogurt, made from the contents of the probiotic capsules and prepared milk.Starter can take up to 24 hours. I use a programmable food dehydrator to set the starter on to keep it consistently warm. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012CG8N26/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Sterilize the cooking container, in my case the Instant Pot cooking pot ("how to" in This Old Gal's recipe).I have never sterilized the container, my dishwasher sanitizes which seems to be enough.

1. Pour 6oz (u/resistingdopamine says 3oz, so I'm not sure which) of milk into the room temperature/cool pot and warm it to 180F (Do you keep it there for a few minutes? how to keep it there without its temp. rising above 180F?) Whisk the milk every 10 mins to keep the temperature even throughout the pot - make sure to whisk before checking temp to get an accurate reading. With Instant Pot this is done using the "yogurt" button, then "adjust" button until it says "boil" It doesn't matter how much inoculate you make. I use a small sauce pan and thermometer for such a small amount of milk for the inoculate. Stir constantly to avoid scorching. I am generous and usually add two capsules per ounce. Using the IP for this step is way, way overkill.
   
2. When it reaches 180F, remove the pot from heat, and place it into a sink filled with cold water. Whisking often (again to keep temp. even), cool milk down to around 105F. Remove from water. Skip the sink, use a small bowl of cool water for such a tiny amount of heated milk.
   
3. Inoculate the milk with the probiotic: Open up the capsule(s), and dump the contents into the prepared milk (u/resistingdopamine says to use 1 capsule, while u/pammylorel says to use 3, so perhaps they can clarify). Throw away the empty capsule(s). The more you use, the quicker the inoculate will set up. It's not really a precise science but I use more to be on the safe side.
   
4. Incubate the mixture: Put the pot back on the heat source (your oven, food dehydrator, yogurt maker, instant pot or w/e you're using). In my case put it back inside the Instant Pot and use "yogurt" function on "normal". You need to keep this at 105-110F for around 15 hours, until it becomes a solid mass. (Not sure if needs to be whisked during this time to keep temp. even during incubation - need clarification) If you use the IP for inoculate, instead of a food dehydrator, I would put water in the large IP pot and the starter in a smaller bowl in the water, like a hot water bath, until inoculate is firm.
   
5. Remove from heat source and chill in refrigerator, covered an undisturbed, for about 7 hours. No need to chill it before using.
   
6. Strain the Whey out: line a strainer with a cheese cloth and place the contents of the pot inside, allowing it to strain, over a pot/bowl (Covered?) in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. No need to strain inoculate. Just stir it up.
   
7. This is your "Starter" to make batches of yogurt. Set aside 1oz, about 2 tablespoons, to make your actual batch of yogurt and freeze the rest for future batches. You can use the large ice cube trays (made for whiskey ice cubes) to store in freezer. Put about 2 tablespoons in each division, covered tray with a ziplock bag, and freeze. Once it freezes, I pop the cubes into a ziploc for easy storage. You can use regular cube trays, just use two or three per batch of yogurt.
   
   Making the Yogurt: From what I understand, to make the yogurt, you perform almost the same process as you did to make the Starter.
   
   Defrost the Starter: defrost the Starter cube you will be using to where it is no longer frozen. No need to defrost, once the milk is heated and cooled to 105-110 degrees throw the cubes in. They will melt.
   
   You prepare the milk the same way - you can use a gallon now. Sterilize the container (skip)pour in milk, get it up to 180F while whisking, cool in cold water in sink while whisking, take a cup of the prepared milk (cooled to 105-110) and mix it with your starter in that cup to temper it before using it to inoculate the pot, Place the contents of the cup with the starter into the pot, put pot back on heat source and incubate it for 15 hours, chill in fridge for 7 hours, strain for 3-4 hours, and place in a container for storage in your refrigerator (Timing is not relevant, I rely on the appearance of yogurt. I prefer to chill overnight before straining. I also use the aforementioned bag and strainer instead of cheesecloth.)
   
   Dosing and Questions:
   
   u/resistingdopamine mentioned taking 1 BB536 probiotic capsule+1 cup of the yogurt, twice a day, morning and night. Not sure if everyone who had success followed with dose. u/MaddinOrLynch, u/Trindolex are some people who have had success stories that I've seen here.
   
   I've read advice to avoid probiotics and fermented foods while doing this, to make sure that they don't out-compete the BB536. I'm not sure if you can start eating them again (I personally love sauerkraut)?
   
   So from what I understand, the first batch takes a couple of days to make as you have to make the first Starter, and then use that to make the first batch - so two batches back-to-back? Yes
   
   Should I keep the milk at 180F for a few minutes, or transfer it to cold water immediately? How does one keep it at 180F without the temp. rising further? Cool immediately. I have found that my IP is really good about beeping at the perfect 180 but use a thermometer too.
   
   I know most IBS sufferers seem to have negative effects from dairy products, including yogurt - is it different with this yogurt? The bacteria eat the lactose which is the bad guy.
   
   Should a person be whisking during incubation (when it's standing at 105F for 15 hours)? NO NO NO
   
   I've heard the longer the incubation period, the more potent the yogurt becomes and less lactose it has - is there a point of incubating for over 15 hours? Once it sets up, it's done.** No more incubation needed**.
   
   I have read that you shouldn't keep the Starter for more than 3 weeks. Should you just freeze parts of the new batches for Starter after? No, use starter as the primary basis for new batches. If you just use yogurt, the bacteria get weak. Should you add another capsule at any point when making new batches? I use a bit of the last batch of yogurt and a couple cubes of frozen starter in each new batch. I have never had a bad batch and it gets much quicker to make once you do it a few times, practice makes perfect.

In my studio I got lucky with storage but I know that I would get this bag holder as well as collapsible kitchen essentials. A slim trash can helps. If your bathroom has no storage, something like this can help. Hang your spices on the cabinet. Use this in the shower if you need more space. XD I use command hooks near my front door to hold my keys and daily jacket. :)

You look wonderful today, did you do something new to your hair?

You should get this can opener is made of good thick steel, it's heavy in the hand and I have never had a problem opening a can with one. Bonus, it has a bottle opener on it.

And this is an excellent liquid measuring cup.

You may also want some of the following:

Hand soap for the kitchen and bathroom sinks, hand towels.
You need basic first aid stuff, like adhesive bandages (band-aids) and rubbing alcohol, good tweezers. Include basic pain meds, stuff for an upset stomach, allergy meds, or any prescription medications you need.

Sponges and scrub brushes. If you want to use a swifter type thing, I'd like to recommend this I have used it to clean offices and it works. The handle is pretty heavy duty and you can make or buy extra cleaning cloths, then you just put them in the washer.

Oh a colander, I will admit I picked that one because it's cute.

I love my rice cooker I use it to steam vegetables or cook rice at least once a week. I have the larger version but that one would probably work, or the larger one.

I could use one of the following: Notebook or Scissors or a Book.

hopefully this will make you smile! I think its adorable. If I win pick whatever you want from my list. Please try and feel better and if you need someone to talk to feel free to vent

All-Clad is kind of the "Cadillac" of cookware, and a big set costs over $1000. In a highly-regarded test kitchen, this Tramontina set for $135 gets good reviews and sells for a fraction of the price. There are other set configurations and open stock (to buy in pieces) items of the same Tramontina line. I would add an 8- and 10-inch nonstick skillet and you would be set for a long time.



The same reviewers like these Victorinox knives as their second best choice. The first choice is the far more expensive German knives. There are different knife set configurations, even big sets in wood blocks, but my link is to the basics.


You need a knife sharpener. This one works very well and is simple to use, and is inexpensive as well.



You will need a colander set. This is the one I use. Stainless steel, lasts for years, cleans up in the dishwasher.

You will need hot pads, trivets, rubber spatulas (bowl scrapers) cookie sheets, etc. Just think through what you like to cook (or eat) and make a list of what you need for each step. Cookies? Mixing bowl, mixer or big spoon, measuring cups, measuring spoons, cookie sheet and spatula. Spaghetti? Frying pan, spatula, can opener, saucepan, big spoon for stirring pasta sauce, bigger pot to cook the pasta, colander, tongs, hot pads or mitts to protect hands while draining pasta. Just think through the steps and make a list.

1. Every good witch needs ice trays to properly ice her wine draughts!
   
2. I'm scared of heights, so my broom will most definitely be put to muggle uses. Quidditch is best watched from the stands for this szor.
   
3. All the gals in next month's issue of Witches Wardrobe will be coveting my collander hat.
   
4. I would totally be a Hermione and read all of my required texts during summer break. I can't even begin to fathom how amazingly fun it would be to read wizard books!
   
5. Strap this puppy to my broom nonexistent bike for extra luggage space. My pet toad would look pretty snazzy riding around with me.
   
6. An invisibility cloak for every nail!

I've been happier with my ends since I started using a colander with my blow-dryer. I got a cheap one with a handle and I think drying my hair with the ends fully supported keeps things from looking stretched or thin. I'm also new (6weeks, iirc?), and my best hair is when I use a lot of gel, blow dry to ~90% dry, and sleep on a satin pillow case. The gel supports the curls, the colander helps with gravity, and the pillowcase seems to do most of my STC overnight. Your haircut will also have a big impact on how much volume you have on the length vs your ends.

I kind of need one of these. My laptop keeps overheating and shutting itself down which freaks me out because it took two jobs and an entire summer to scrape the money together for this one.

I recently moved into a new place which only has a really tiny one of these so it's completely useless if I want to make pasta.

This is sort of a want item but I really want to learn how to do nice eye make up and things like that and obviously being able to keep the eyeshadow on would be a help.

Goodbye Eleven and thanks for the contest <3

Wow, very cool! Do you roll the boba by hand? I've heard it's really time-consuming.

Oh, I see. That makes sense. I guess you're obligated then to use loose-leaf tea, local milk, and local honey. Even so, you should be able to sell it at enough markup to net a profit. How much does each serving cost to make? $1?

Look into Boba Guys (SF). They use loose-leaf tea and local milk (almond is an option too) and sell at a higher price ($4.50 v $3.50). They market it as a premium version for boba enthusiasts and health-conscious consumers. Their site has pages explaining how they got started and why their prices are higher.

Personally, I prefer classic, stronger milk tea, but Boba Guys seems to be doing well in the city.

If you have 4 8-gal pots, then you can brew 8 gal and then pour it into another pot through a strainer like this or this. Or you can use 4 clothespins to attach cheesecloth over the second pot. I've tried fine-straining my milk tea to get rid of leaf dust (not that you'll have much) and it didn't do much, so I wouldn't bother.

Also, you could reinforce the healthy/hippie theme by using raw sugar. US brown sugar is just white sugar with molasses added back in. Demerara/turbinado have some molasses left in during processing. Muscovado has more. Black sugar (from Taiwan, Okinawa, or Korea) is considered a health food.

My parents' house burned down around Thanksgiving and they asked me for pot & pan recommendations as they rebuild. Here's a list I sent them of things that ought to last forever but won't break the bank (no Mauviel, Staub, All-Clad, Le Creuset, etc). #1 on the list is a 12" Lodge skillet, just like the one we have. :)

• 12" cast iron skillet, along these lines: http://www.amazon.com/Lodge-L10SK3-Pre-Seasoned-Skillet-12-Inch/dp/B00006JSUB/
  
• 8-12qt stock pot. Here's a reasonably priced 10qt model: http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-76610-26G-Classic-10-Quart-Stockpot/dp/B007HN67KU
  
• 2.5qt sauce pan (optional)
  
• 3.5qt chef's pan (not optional), similar to this (the rounded bottom/edges is critical): http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinox-Elite-Quart-Covered-Chefs/dp/B001BKKB3Y
  
• Stainless roasting pan (root vegetables, turkey, etc): http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-MCP117-16BR-MultiClad-Stainless-Rectangular/dp/B0041Q409G
  
• 5-7qt enameled cast iron dutch oven (we use this as our primary soup pot. We only use our stock pot for pasta or when we're making soup for a really large crowd): http://www.amazon.com/Lodge-EC6D43-Enameled-Island-6-Quart/dp/B000N501BK
  
• Cuisinart electric kettle (this is SOOOOOOOOO much more efficient than either the microwave or the stovetop -- we never knew what we were missing until we bought it): http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CPK-17-PerfecTemp-1-7-Liter-Stainless/dp/B003KYSLNQ
  
• Measuring cups and spoons: http://www.amazon.com/Kitchenmade-Stainless-Steel-Measuring-Stackable/dp/B00IRQNHTK and http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Stainless-Steel-Piece-Measuring/dp/B000P0W4MC
  
• Pyrex measuring cups (a 2qt and a 4qt)
  
• Nesting glass mixing bowls: http://www.amazon.com/Luminarc-Stackable-9-Piece-Bowl-Set/dp/B000V6W5ZG
  
• Large stainless steel (lightweight) mixing bowl. I'm not sure exactly how big ours is, but it's probably similar to this. We use it when we make salads for crowds, or any time we don't want to crowd whatever we're preparing. http://www.amazon.com/Thunder-Group-Mixing-Bowl-13-Quart/dp/B001E0HQSO
  
• Colander (pasta, veggies): http://www.amazon.com/Bellemain-Micro-perforated-Stainless-5-quart-Colander/dp/B00O97D0DO
  
• Strainer (berries, rinsing beans):http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-8-Inch-Double-Strainer/dp/B00004OCLX

your process looks pretty good, i have the 15gal ss brewtech and i would get it without the thermo. you are just going to cause problems with the bag. another thing i would get is a giant whisk for mashing and creating whirlpools/oxegenating

also i use this giant colander on top of my 15 gal brewtech kettle to rest the bag in and squeeze with some silicone gloves. the gloves are a must with BIAB.

i used to use a hop bag but ever since going away from it i have found my beers have gained some hop character they were lacking before.

also make sure you are treating your water for chlorine with campden tablets before brewing, and if you want to go one step further you can build your water up from scratch. i fill up 2 6 gallon containers at the windmill express for .25c a gal and add gypsum, cacl, epsom etc from there.

Funny kitchen strainer since u have other cooking/baking items.

Mermaid bath bomb because everyone needs good relaxation!

A tuna can drainer is the best :)

As far as essential cookware, I regularly use this silicone cookware in the oven or microwave:

• Mini Cake Cups -- "smooth" edge cupcake liners, but things pop out easily
  
• 6-cavity mini-cake molds
  
• 3-cavity mini-cake molds
  
• Baking mat
  
• Microwave turntable mat
  
• Several sizes of cupcake liners, with the "folded" edges (I barely use these any more)
  
  For microwave cookware, I regularly use:
  
  
• Sistema 28-ounce "Breakfast" bowl
  
• Sistema 32-ounce "Noodle" bowl -- I use this almost daily
  
• Sistema 30-ounce "collection" plate and steamer
  
• Progressive Collapsible mini-colander and steamer
  
• Progressive egg cooker -- four soft-boiled eggs in 2 minutes
  
  I do a lot of microwave cooking. :)
  
  I use that "Noodle" bowl for egg drop and "dump" soups, "leftovers" chili, omelets, "custard in a bowl" (microwaved cream cheese pancakes), "Spanish" fried rice or Cabbage Alfredo, frozen meatballs + Rao's marinara + Italian blend cheese, sausage with peppers and onions, and heating up of any frozen veggies with butter and spices. 
  
  It's also a great mixing bowl for the small mixes I do. I usually sift together all my dry ingredients in the bowl, do all of my wet ingredients in the Magic Bullet, then pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and fold together with a large silicone spatula. Nothing sticks to the bowl, so it's so easy to mix things in the bowl AND dump everything out.
  
  For example, using my Magic Bullet, the Noodle Bowl, and the 3-well and 6-well molds, I used Ke-Dough to make these buns.

After hating the cooler mash tun for reasons of space and cleaning, I returned to BIAB. Having struggled with pulleys and considering having a stellar BIAB filter made, I found this:Tablecraft (713) 13 qt Stainless Steel Footed Colander https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004W7U6H4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_mD37Sad5QILQO. Cheap and easy. Yank the grain bag, pop the colander on the kettle, and start heating to mash temp. Saves time on lautering, and can heat while it drains. Easy to press a bit out without worrying about bending anything.

Maybe it's obvious, but I thought I'd share.

Recipe today was an evolution of my Focal Banger clone (since I'm lucky to have some to compare), with a more new school NEIPA treatment: 11# Pearl, 2#GNO, .5# flaked barley, acid malt and 1.5# sugar. Chloride heavy water and Notty.

I like smooth edges & I like tuna. I bought one of these, and found that it's better at draining tuna than the can lid-compression method anyway.

I have this one. Pretty good all purpose. And cheap.

I also like straining as much liquid as possible out of it. A [tuna strainer](https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EZQQZGI
/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486438432&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=tuna+strainer&dpPl=1&dpID=51PmVNk27LL&ref=plSrch) is great for this

Yes, money well spent.

Hi thanks for the link! It's cool to see so many different ways of cooking/boiling an egg. The American test kitchen method is almost opposite! Also looks delish no doubt.

For me personally I didn't want a over easy runny yolk and strived for a Japanese ramen shop style egg. The first eggs that comes to mind is Ichiran in Tokyo, or Daikokuya in little Tokyo LA.

I used a bigger pot and placed the mesh strainer like this one to avoid direct heat from the bottom of the pot. It was also much easier to take the eggs in and out of the pot/ placing it in an ice bath at the same time using the strainer.

The eggs are runny like ATK's eggs if you eat it right away but turns into a different texture after being refrigerated for 24 hrs. it's thicker and creamier.. kind of like the center of a Cadbury egg! But with real egg yolks if that makes sense... 😋

These work really well, and leak like you wouldn't believe!

You can commit these heresies or you can wear official churchly merchandise:

https://www.amazon.com/Spaghetti-Monster-Colander-Strainer-OTOTO/dp/B076676PS9

That is not a colander.

This is a colander - large holes, used for pasta or veggies.

This is a sieve - small wire mesh, used for sifting flour and the like.

This is a strainer - wide wired mesh, used for anything too small for a colander, but not requiring the finesse of a sieve (like spaghetti)

I'm going to suggest /u/sowkr gets this book. She works with kids who have borderline personality disorder and this book would be really helpful for her.

I don't need double talk, I need this colander because mine's rusting and you probably shouldn't use a rusty colander.

Agreed.

Not sure about weight...buuuuut, size and convenience:

http://www.amazon.com/Progressive-International-Collapsible-Mini-Colander/dp/B00437PWFO/ref=pd_sbs_k_1

I got this one 2.5 years ago, run it in the dishwasher all the time and don’t spend any time hand-drying it or otherwise babying it, and it’s still spotless. Made from heavy-gauge steel.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O97D0DO/

Some of the Amazon reviews are not so complimentar, it’s possible quality has gone downhil.

Buy this

Try one of these!

I actually do need new sunglasses because I am working out outside all the time, and my current ones are starting to get way too scratched up.

I'm nominating /u/mewfasa because I know she needs a new colander.

edit: I forgot the raffle phrase... my bad... I don't need double talk, I need
