All-Clad 3-Quart Stainless Steel Colander — Pasta Strainer
Product description
This listing contains a single 3-quart stainless steel colander designed for everyday kitchen tasks: rinsing berries and greens, draining cooked pasta, or holding onions and potatoes.
The bowl is formed from heavy 18/10 stainless steel finished to a bright mirror sheen that resists staining and corrosion and won’t react with acidic foods. Two sizable riveted loop handles provide a secure grip, and a short pedestal base keeps the colander steady in the sink. The perforation pattern is graduated — larger holes near the rim and smaller ones toward the bottom — to promote rapid drainage while allowing airflow. The rim is rolled to help channel liquids when pouring so you don’t leave drips behind.
Care is straightforward: the colander is safe to clean in a dishwasher and is built to last; All-Clad covers defects with a lifetime warranty. It’s intended as a long-term kitchen accessory for cooks who prefer metal over plastic and want a functional, polished strainer that will withstand frequent use.

Heavy-duty, worth the investment
An investment but worth it. Extremely sturdy steel that drains quickly. I replaced plastic pieces and feel this will be a one-time purchase.

Exactly what I needed
Picked the 3-quart and it fits my needs perfectly. Replaced old plastic and a cheap steel one. Later bought the 1.5-qt too and both are flawless.

Still like new after years
Owned it for three years with no rust and still looks new. Cheaper colanders I had began to corrode within months. I use it daily and the hole pattern has worked fine.

Solid, dependable choice
Very solid and the ideal basic 3-quart size. It hangs neatly and feels built to last—my previous non-branded colander lost a handle.

Drains better than competitor models
Drains much more efficiently than another brand I tried, which had tiny, closely spaced holes. This one clears water quickly and feels sturdier.

Pleasure to use and admire
I love the size, weight and shine. It comes out spotless from the dishwasher and complements my cookware set. Very glad I finally bought one.

Perfect mid-size option
The 3-qt covers everything from small portions to family pasta. Replaced a messy mesh set; this cleans easily and the hole size is just right.

Attractive and functional
A beautiful tool that performs well. Replaced a rusting porcelain-coated strainer; great for pasta and general straining and very easy to clean.
