Every commercial kitchen should have a selection of colanders available to make pasta, rinse vegetables, and perform other prep tasks more efficiently. Each unit features small holes across its surface so you can drain cooked noodles, rice, grains, fruits, and other foods cooked or packaged in liquids. Whether you’re looking for lightweight aluminum options, or you need durable heavy-duty stainless steel colanders, we have an option for you.
You’ll find colanders with footed bases that elevate the bottom part of the strainer up off the sink’s bottom, allowing for more efficient drainage. We also carry stainless steel colanders without bases that won’t get lodged stuck in sink drains. These styles also prevent any food particles from becoming trapped in cracks and crevices that form where bases and handles are attached to the body.
Our colanders are available in a variety of different capacities, depending on how much product you need to drain at once. It’s ideal to have multiple sizes on-hand, so you can efficiently drain small amounts of berries with a small colander and mass portions of pasta with a larger one. Every style also features handles or tapered edges to give you control when draining hot liquids. For more great products to assist you when prepping pasta and grains, check out our
