MacKenzie-Childs Sterling Check Enamel Colander - Large

The Sterling Check Enamel Colander Large is the kitchen tool that refuses to look utilitarian — hand-painted Sterling Check in cool grey hues on a heavy-gauge enamel steel body, bronzed stainless steel rim, with perforations sized for pasta, vegetables, fruit, and anything else that needs draining. The colander you pull out and leave on the counter because it looks better there than in the cabinet. Sterling Check on a large colander: the grey-check aesthetic applied to the most workhorse piece in the kitchen.

At the large size it handles full-pound pasta portions, whole heads of lettuce, large berry hauls, and serious prep quantities. Enamelware construction means it doesn't retain odours or flavours. Hand-wash after use and dry immediately. Do not microwave.
