A required tool in the home of a seasoned cook, this strainer has a fine-grid mesh for draining the excess liquid from just about any food, including fruit, vegetables, and pasta. The wide stainless- steel brim and loop make it easy for the strainer to rest on almost any bowl or pot, and the double-rod construction makes it extra sturdy.

Oxo Good Grips 6-Inch Double Rod Strainer Reviews
This strainer is perfect and is also very well constructed. I was looking for a very fine strain mainly to use to strain very small grains such as quinoa which needs to be rinsed before cooking.
Bought both the 6" and 8" Oxo sieves. After all, they are only strainers to remove water from food). (Although I think they are too expensive. Great size and sturdy construction. Useful every day for cooking tasks; for boiling little bits of things to go along what's in the pot, or for straining what comes out of it.
It's reliable and not expensive and the rubber handles that they always use are awesome, nothing slips and falls out of my hands. - Kasia S. The rubber handle takes the pressure of the hand and makes any job easier; I can really hold everything in one hand without bending my wrist in unnatural angles. Heck, you can even put powder sugar in this or flour for baking and sieve it to perfection. The 6" diameter is large enough to strain potatoes and pasta, I usually don't cook for an army so if I was feeding more than 2 -3 people I would get the large size as well, but so far this has worked out perfectly.
I find that all the items I get for my kitchen form the OXO brand are just perfect. I still want to get a nice colander but when I'm draining something quickly this is easy to hold with one hand and pot or pan in other over the sink for a quick drain. After months of use and washing the shape doesn't have any dents in it and it's a cinch to wash, overall I use this anytime I wash fruits or drain pasta, potatoes and any veggies, its great for soaking anything that I want to remove quickly and all at once, like dried mushrooms or beans and so far no rust. I love buying kitchen tools and gadgets, problems is washing it all and running out of space, but its fun and it makes cooking and eating that much more pleasant. The mesh basket is very well made and tightly woven, it lets all the liquid through without a problem and I never loose any food since the spaces are very small.
This is meant for sauces, to make them smooth and silky but I really use it for just about anything.
It proven to be sturdy and durable. I've been using this strainer for a long time now almost daily and highly recommend it.
