Colander
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Distinguish". Script error: No such module "other uses".
A colander or cullender is a kitchen utensil perforated with holes used to strain foods such as pasta or to rinse vegetables.[1] The perforations of the colander allow liquid to drain through while retaining the solids inside. It is sometimes called a pasta strainer. A sieve, with much finer mesh, is also used for straining.
Description and history
Traditionally, colanders are made of a light metal, such as aluminium or thinly rolled stainless steel. Colanders are also made of plastic, silicone, ceramic, and enamelware.[2]
The word colander comes from the Latin Script error: No such module "Lang"., meaning sieve.[1]
Types
- Bowl- or cone-shaped – the usual colander
- Mated colander pot – a colander inside a cooking pot, allowing the food to drain as it is lifted out[3]
