Collapsible Colander & Steamer

A collapsible colander that rinses, drains, and steams — then folds flat to less than 1.5 inches for storage. Finally, a strainer that doesn't hog an entire cabinet.

The GIR Collapsible Colander & Steamer is the space-saving kitchen tool that does triple duty. Use it as a collapsible strainer for rinsing produce and draining pasta, as a [steamer] basket on the stovetop, or as a self-standing colander that stays upright hands-free while you prep. When you're done, it collapses flat and tucks into a drawer.

Dimensions: 9.78 in x 13.23 in (with handles) x 5.3 in. Collapses flat to less than 1.5 in.
