HIC Kitchen's Collapsible Silicone Colander is perfect for daily food preparation to drain cooking liquids from pasta, rinse legumes, wash fruits and vegetables, and more. Its footed base elevates foods safely above any liquids as they drain. It works nicely as a vegetable steamer over a pot of boiling water. The colander collapses down to 1-inch tall for easy compact storage, saving valuable space in kitchen drawers or cabinets. Made from food-safe silicone and 18/8 stainless steel, HIC Kitchen's Collapsible Colander is sturdy and durable, naturally non-stick, heat-resistant (to 500-degrees Fahrenheit), and dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. Brought to you by HIC, a third-generation family owned and operated company in the USA since 1957.
