Reliably Sturdy.
When designing our colander, we experimented with different materials; ceramics, plastics, and stainless steel. We also tried several different shapes, including some innovative collapsible versions. In the end, we found that the best material was one we trusted: Stainless steal. The best, most reliable performing shape, was the traditional bowl shape. Our design innovation wasn't in reinventing what already worked well, but in making the best quality colander possible. The HOLM colander looks pretty and does the job. Sturdy handles wont get hot easily when draining hot foods, and make it easy to lower the loaded colander into a sink (even when wearing cooking mitts!)
