This simple, distinct product combines the functions of a preparation bowl, colander and a serving bowl in one convenient design. Its integrated colander means you can rinse food in the main bowl and then drain off the excess water, without having to tip the contents into a separate colander or sieve. Once drained the contents can either be tipped into a pan for cooking, combined with other ingredients such as sauces or dressings or served straight to the table– all using the same bowl. It is ideal for preparing and serving salads and soft fruits or for rinsing rice and lentils prior to cooking. Dishwasher safe. Not microwave safe.
