3-Piece Black Stainless Steel Kitchen Strainer Set

Choose the right size for every ingredient and portion. This three-piece kitchen strainer set from Discountershop includes two fine-mesh colanders and one small sieve with a long handle. The set contains a large colander measuring Ø31 cm x 10 cm, a smaller colander measuring Ø20 cm x 9.3 cm and a fine-mesh sieve measuring Ø13 cm x 4 cm.

The large colander provides space for family-sized portions of pasta, potatoes, lettuce, vegetables and fruit. The 20 cm model is practical for smaller quantities of rice, pasta, pulses or fruit. Use the 13 cm fine-mesh sieve for flour, cocoa powder, icing sugar, stock, sauces and small ingredients.

The three kitchen strainers complement each other during cooking, baking, washing and meal preparation. You do not need to use a large colander for a small quantity or refill a small sieve several times.

What Is Included in the Set?

The set contains three black stainless steel pieces with different dimensions and uses:

• Large fine-mesh colander: Ø31 cm and 10 cm high
• Medium fine-mesh colander: Ø20 cm and 9.3 cm high
• Small fine-mesh sieve with handle: Ø13 cm and 4 cm high

The 31 cm and 20 cm colanders have two side handles and a fixed base. This allows you to lift them with both hands and place them securely in the sink or on a flat worktop. The 13 cm sieve has a long handle and a small support on the opposite side.

31 x 10 cm Colander for Larger Portions

The largest piece has a diameter of 31 cm and a height of 10 cm. This large colander with handles is suitable when cooking for several people or washing and draining a larger quantity of ingredients.

Use the large colander for:

• Draining a large portion of spaghetti, macaroni or penne
• Draining boiled potatoes and larger portions of vegetables
• Washing lettuce, spinach and other leafy vegetables
• Rinsing apples, strawberries, grapes and other fruit
• Washing beans, lentils and chickpeas
• Preparing larger quantities of ingredients for meal prep

The wide, round shape helps spread ingredients across the fine mesh. Water can therefore drain through different areas of the food strainer. Do not fill the colander above the rim when draining heavy potatoes or hot pasta.

20 x 9.3 cm Colander for Everyday Portions

The second colander has a diameter of 20 cm and a height of 9.3 cm. This more compact model is suitable for everyday cooking and small to medium portions. It takes up less space in the sink and is easier to use when the large colander is not required.

Use this kitchen strainer with handles for:

• Pasta for one or several people
• Rinsing rice before cooking
• Washing vegetables for a salad or side dish
• Rinsing strawberries, grapes, berries and other fruit
• Washing canned beans or chickpeas
• Cleaning fresh herbs and chopped vegetables

As a pasta strainer with handles, the model provides grip on both sides. It can also be used as a vegetable strainer or fruit colander. The fixed base raises the mesh slightly above the bottom of the sink, allowing water to continue draining.

13 x 4 cm Fine-Mesh Sieve for Precise Straining

The smallest sieve has a diameter of 13 cm and a height of 4 cm. This fine kitchen sieve is intended for small quantities and tasks for which a 20 or 31 cm colander would be too large.

Use the small sieve as:

• A flour sieve for flour or baking mixtures
• A sieve for cocoa powder and icing sugar
• A kitchen tool for straining sauce or stock
• A sieve for small quantities of rice
• A tool for removing lumps from liquids
• A strainer for herbs or small food pieces

The long handle allows you to hold the fine-mesh sieve above a bowl, cup or saucepan. Check that the sieve rests securely on the rim before releasing the handle. Results with extremely fine ingredients may depend on the mesh size.

Fine-Mesh Stainless Steel for Washing, Draining and Sieving

All three pieces are made from stainless steel with a black finish. The fine metal mesh allows water and other liquids to pass through while keeping most ingredients inside the kitchen strainer.

The set is suitable for:

• Pasta, rice and potatoes
• Vegetables, lettuce and fresh herbs
• Fruit and pulses
• Flour, cocoa powder and icing sugar
• Stock, soup and sauces
• Small ingredients that may pass through a coarse colander

This combination of stainless steel kitchen strainers, metal colanders and a small handled sieve provides multifunctional kitchen tools for cooking and washing. Use the pieces separately or at the same time while preparing a meal.

Choosing the Correct Size

Select the piece according to the quantity and type of ingredient:

• Use the 31 x 10 cm colander for large portions and full cooking pots
• Use the 20 x 9.3 cm colander for everyday portions
• Use the 13 x 4 cm sieve for fine and precise straining

The two colanders can be used for pasta, fruit, rice, potatoes and vegetables. The small sieve completes the set for baking ingredients, liquids and smaller quantities. This gives you suitable kitchenware for a wide range of recipes.

Handles for Improved Control

The two colanders have handles on both sides. This distributes the weight more evenly when lifting or moving the kitchen strainer. Hold both handles firmly when working with hot or heavy ingredients.

The metal and handles may become hot when draining cooked food. Use oven gloves or heat-resistant cloths when necessary. Pour hot cooking water slowly away from your body and keep your hands clear of rising steam.

The small sieve has a long handle for use above a bowl or saucepan. Hold the handle securely and prevent the sieve from tipping when filled.

Compact Storage

The three pieces can be stored inside one another after use. Place the 13 cm sieve inside the 20 cm colander, then place both pieces inside the 31 cm colander. This allows the complete set to take up less cupboard space.

Allow every piece to dry completely before nesting them. Do not store the kitchen strainers while wet, as water may remain trapped between the pieces.

Cleaning and Maintenance

According to the supplied product information, the set is dishwasher-safe. Remove larger food particles before placing the pieces in the dishwasher. After the cycle, check that no residue remains trapped in the fine mesh.

The pieces can also be washed by hand:

• Rinse both sides of the mesh with warm water
• Use a mild washing-up liquid
• Clean the small openings with a soft washing-up brush
• Avoid hard scouring pads
• Rinse away all soap residue
• Allow each piece to dry separately
• Store the set only when all parts are completely dry

With this three-piece set, Discountershop provides three practical sizes in one package. Choose the correct size for each preparation and nest the pieces together after use to save storage space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 13 cm sieve suitable for quinoa and other small grains?

The 13 x 4 cm sieve has fine mesh and may be suitable for small grains. Test a small quantity first, as very fine quinoa, seeds or grains could pass through depending on their size.

Can all three pieces be used at the same time?

Yes. You can drain pasta in the 31 cm colander, wash vegetables in the 20 cm model and strain sauce or stock with the 13 cm sieve during the same meal preparation.

Are the colanders deep enough for mixing ingredients?

The large colander is 10 cm high and the smaller model is 9.3 cm high. They provide space for gently moving ingredients but are primarily designed for washing, draining and rinsing rather than mixing.

How should the set be nested without damaging the mesh?

Make sure every piece is clean and dry before placing them together. Insert the pieces gently and avoid forceful sliding or placing heavy objects on top, as this may put pressure on the mesh.
