With this large colander, you will easily and quickly wash and drain your fruits and vegetables, or even your pasta. It is also very practical for rinsing grains like quinoa and rice before cooking them to remove any impurities. It is recommended to rinse quinoa to remove the saponin, which makes it bitter and sticky. Similarly, remember to rinse rice to remove some of the starch, which makes it sticky. This colander sifts cocoa, sugar, powdered sugar, and flour to prevent lumps. With the chinois, you will strain liquids: sauces or soups to thin them, and coulis, jams, and juices to remove pulp and seeds. In short: two essentials for a healthy and refined kitchen!
