NETANY Stainless Steel Strainer and Colander
A stainless colander that drains itself on an angled base
What it is
One size, one finish, no options: a stainless steel strainer and colander a little over nine inches across, with fine holes in the base and feet that hold it clear of a sink. The capacity is the one place the listing argues with itself — the name quotes three and a half quarts and the specification says it holds up to three. Take the smaller figure as the working one.
The feature that justifies the page is the base: it sits at a slight angle on slip-proof feet, so water runs off and away instead of pooling under whatever has just been drained. That is what the maker means by hands-free — hot pasta can be tipped in and left rather than held and shaken over a sink, which is the moment colanders scald people. The holes are two millimetres, fine enough to keep rice, quinoa and small berries where they belong, which is the usual reason a cheap colander gets replaced. Beyond that it is a well-specified piece of steel: thickened, rust and odour resistant, dishwasher safe, with hanging holes and a scraper edge built into the rim. Nothing here needs a second look except the capacity.
In use
Fits: draining pasta and vegetables straight from a hot pan, rinsing rice and small grains, and a sink too shallow for a colander that sits flat in standing water. Does not fit: a big-batch kitchen — three quarts is one pan of pasta, not two.

What 81 ratings can and cannot tell you
The smallest sample in the catalogue by a long way: the listing is new, and a couple of dozen ratings tell you only that the thing arrives as described. A steel colander has very little to fail, so a low sample is less worrying here than it would be on glass — but it is also no evidence at all about the feet or the rim scraper after a year. Treat the score as provisional and the specification as the document that matters.
The average is the retailer’s own figure across every option in this family, not a score of ours, and no review is quoted or paraphrased anywhere on this site.
Questions about this one
How much does it hold?
The specification says up to three quarts while the name claims three and a half. Plan around three; the discrepancy is the maker's, and both figures are theirs.
Will rice go through the holes?
The maker gives two-millimetre holes and names rice, quinoa and berries as the intended contents. That is their claim, printed below.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
Yes — it is specified as dishwasher safe, and stainless steel at this thickness is the easiest material in this catalogue to keep clean.
