Product Description
Okay here's the skinny on strainers: cheap ones can bend under an incoming load of pasta and hot water, they can rust, and if they don't have a loop opposite the handle you end up trapped at the sink while the water drains. A strainer of superior quality on the other hand is a tool you'll use with pleasure for many years.

Amazon.com Review
A required tool in the home of a seasoned cook, this strainer has a fine-grid mesh for draining the excess liquid from just about any food, including fruit, vegetables, and pasta. The wide stainless- steel brim and loop make it easy for the strainer to rest on almost any bowl or pot, and the double-rod construction makes it extra sturdy. And it comes with a hanging loop for convenient storage. The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

5 out of 5 stars High quality strainer   August 29, 2008
Jonathan Koehler
This is the perfect size strainer with a good grip and very high quality stainless steel mesh. I've used it constantly since purchasing it. The length of the handle is perfect for spanning my small kitchen sink, so I can let things drain after rinsing them. It's large enough to hold several cans of beans, or chopped tomatoes for draining.

Great product.



3 out of 5 stars not so sturdy   August 9, 2008

I was disappointed in the insubstantial feeling and quality of the stainless steel....made in China, btw. I doubt it will meet the requirements of durability and longevity I had come to expect from OXO.
Frankly, I am disappointed.

The size of this makes it perfect for what I use it for; incorporating flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, etc when baking. It's large size make it a suitable substitution for a more expensive French tami. Unlike a tami this has the ability to be suspended over a bowl hands free. It's also handy as a cooling sieve for freshly roasted coffee beans.

It's amazing what a difference quality tools will make in the kitchen. My old strainers did the job. They... well, strained. But they were getting rusty and they just felt cheap. These strainers simply feel great. The handle has a good grip to it, the mesh will have you rubbing it a little when nobody's looking, and it just looks classy. The 8" size is the perfect general-use size. The price is a little steep for what I'd normally want to pay for a simple tool, but it was worth it.
