Polder 6631-75 18/8 Stainless Steel Sink Strainer

I hate this item. The dirts always HIDE behind the 2 cm stainless edge. Enlarge the picture of this item and you will see the stainless around the edge of strainer. If this product doesn't have stainless edge, I might recommend this item.

However, the stainless steel mesh is very very very difficult to clean and the dirts won't come off that easily. I have to use more water than usual item.

Yesterday I washed spinach leaves, and today I washed rices, both of small pieces are still on the strainer espeically behind the stainless egde.

I would recommend to use the normal plastic or silicon strainer.

I bought this Polder 6631-75 18/8 Stainless Steel Sink Strainer for my college age grandson and it appears to be surviving his less than tender care. It also keeps whatever he's straining out of the liquid in the sink, another of my concerns. I'll get another one for the younger boy when it's time.

We bought this Feb. 2008 for $16 as part of the buy 3, get 1 free promo. This stainless steel strainer expands to hang from a tradtional dual split kitchen sink (for lack of a better description).

Our intent was to replace our plastic collander with stainless steel (getting rid of all plastics in the house due to "toxins"- just playing it safe). The bonus is that because it hangs from your sink, we now have extra space to put glasses to dry w/o dripping water onto countertops!

It's functional, attractive (if you care), and makes a great addition to any kitchen. You can get one for roughly the same price at Kohl's (maybe less, if on sale), however if you buy it w/ the Amazon promo. then it's a way better deal online. See my ordering tip below:

Ordering tip: if you're going to buy a bunch of items, split them in separate orders and put all the lower priced items together so you can get (at least) one of the more expensive items for free. By doing so, I got one $18 item free, instead of two $3.99 items free. Of course, just make sure both shipments are more than $25 for free S&H. I just made sure I bought some other needed items that weren't part of the promo! These 4-for-3 deals are AWESOME, especially when combined w/ FREE S&H and no sales tax! Way to go Amazon!

This strainer is super versatile. Don't know how I got by without it. Buying a few more to give to loved ones who can use them. Great for washing veggies, straining noodles, and even doubles as an extra drying rack when you run out of room. Fabulous, yet so simple.

This far exceeded my expectations. I put this strainer to work right away and found the quality very good. Sturdy, holds a lot and love those thick cushioned expandable arms (ultimate protection from scratches on your kitchen sink/counter area) Much, much better than other brands that use cushioned feet that eventually fall off. Highly recommend.
