Product Details
An expandable stainless steel colander that rests across your sink, for washing fruit and vegetables or draining pasta without taking up bench space.
The fine mesh basket is about 31cm long, 13cm wide and 6.5cm deep, and the arms slide out to about 40cm so it sits across most single and double sinks. Rinse berries, salad and vegetables under the tap and the water runs straight into the sink. Built-in legs let it stand on the bench as a fruit bowl or a drying rack for glasses, bottles and small dishes.

Care & Use
Rinse after use and wash in warm soapy water with a brush to clear the mesh. Dry well before storing. Take care with boiling water and hot pasta, and hold the colander steady while pouring.
Please allow a small measurement tolerance due to manual measurement, and slight colour variation due to different monitor settings.
Where It Gets Used
Home kitchens with small benches, apartments and caravans, where a colander over the sink frees up space.
It is handy for washing salad and fruit for lunchboxes, draining pasta and vegetables, and drying glasses after a party.
