Updating can't live without tools!
I have always believed that you get what you pay for! I always do my research and comparison shopping. Time & time again I keep going back to Chefs. Their products are unique, hard to find and good quality! Free shipping is one more positive aspect. This is one of several items that I purchased recently!

High quality colanders
I am very pleased with these colanders. The holes, which I first thought would be too small, are perfect for all sorts of foods -- spaghetti, beans, blueberries, thawed spinach from a box... They are strong and very easy to clean as their surfaces are smooth regardless of their holes. It's nice to have them stand alone, too; my previous "colander" for years had been a large strainer with a handle.

Really works well
I specifically purchased these colanders for keeping small pieces in the colander while draining, and they definitely do that well. Although I haven't used it for something as small as quinoa, it's been able to keep small pieces of vegetable from slipping through.
I purchased both sizes (the 3qt and 5qt), and I'd say the 3qt is perfect for most people who cook for one to three people. It holds enough pasta for side dishes for four or a meal for two or three.
Overall, I'd purchase these again.

So easy to clean!
It was time to retire the ugly plastic colander I bought at Walmart more than 10 years ago. I was looking for an upgrade rather than just a replacement. So, I decided to go with the Endurance 5 qt. The first thing I used it for was to drain angel hair pasta. None of the noodles slipped through the holes & it was so easy to clean. The plastic one was such a pain to clean & noodles always slipped through. It looks like the surface would be rough, but it is very smooth to the touch. Oh, and it looks super cool too! I would say it is money well spent because I don't think it will need to be replaced. And the ease of use & cleaning is worth every penny.

Very happy with purchase
I love this colander because it is so easy to clean. My husband loves to cook pastas for salads, etc., and it so easy to clean the starch from pastas without soaking and scouring. I'm going to order the smaller one also -- and retire my old slotted colander.

Many uses
This colander is a very good size for our use. We use it for draining pasta of all kinds primarily. It works great, cleans up easilty, and stores nicely without taking up too much space. Very good quality. Looks nice too !
Highly recommended.

Size is everything
While the size and dimensions are clearly marked, the 3 qt was smaller than expected. I subsequestly ordered the 5 qt. Both are more shallow than previous colanders I've owned. But really like the pierced holes -- the spaghetti being strained does not get caught so much in them.
