Vollrath 47960 10 3/8" x 4" Stainless Steel Strainer

Smaller than anticipated, which is my fault as I hadn't read the specs very clearly. We don't like to use mesh when breading items, as we are a very high volume restaurant and the mesh breaks apart and can get into food. This is a good replacement because there are a lot of holes spaced throughout the strainer. Vollrath is a great company with high quality products so I imagine this will last awhile.

I really like this strainer it works better then the other brand it has more holes and is able to drain faster then the other ones

This guy is a companion to the other tapered pot. They go together. We use them for cooking pasta on the line. it seems durable and not a mesh on the will fall apart.

The Vollrath pasta strainer is a great, durable, product. We use about 8 at our restaurant to quickly reboil al-dente pasta for most of our dishes in a large stock pot. It's much easier to use with the pan type handle rather than a vertical handle found in other pasta strainers. They're used consistently throughout 10 hour days, 363 days a year, and have not failed us yet in three years. 5 stars.

I love this guy. It works so well. We use it for blanching vegetables and as a pasta basket. It performs well and fits into the 5.5 qt sauce pot perfectly.
