This rice cleaning colander is sturdy & well made in stainless-steel. It works well in making it easy to rinse & drain rice without getting rice grains stuck in the drainage holes. You just covers a portion of rice with water, swirl it around to rinse the rice & then tilt the bowl so that the cloudy water drains through the drainage holes. My only negative comment is that a price of over £20 is a lot for what is essentially a sieve. It does it job very well though.
