ESSENTIAL Strainer small

The little holes catch even the finest bits of quinoa, which my old colander always let through. It’s compact enough to hang on my utensil rack without sticking out, and the handle feels sturdy in my hand. This thing gets used every single day now.

I needed a smaller strainer for rinsing quinoa and this one fits perfectly over my mug. The handle stays cool even when I pour hot pasta water through it.

The fine mesh catches even tiny seeds, which is exactly what I needed for my morning smoothies. Only minor thing is the handle feels a bit short for my larger pots, but it does the job well.
