OXO Good Grips 3-Quart Stainless Steel Strainer — Compact Colander with Non-Slip Elevated Handles & Stable Three-Foot Base

The OXO Good Grips 3-Quart Stainless Steel Strainer is a compact, stable colander built with elevated non-slip handles and three feet for fast, reliable draining of vegetables, pasta and more.

Whether you’re rinsing berries, draining pasta, or washing greens, this 3-quart stainless steel colander is designed to make the task easier and tidier. The perforated bowl clears water quickly while the elevated handles and stable feet keep the strainer secure in the sink or on the countertop. It also nests inside OXO stainless mixing bowls so you can strain directly into a bowl or store them together without taking up extra space.

How does this strainer speed up routine kitchen prep?

The fine, evenly spaced perforations let water flow out rapidly while holding back food, so you spend less time waiting and more time cooking. The 3-quart capacity is sized for everyday family portions and small batches, making it a good fit for quick meals and meal prep.

• Perforated stainless steel for fast drainage and minimal splashing
• 3-quart capacity suitable for pasta, berries, and washed greens
• Compact shape fits most sinks for convenient rinsing

Will it stay steady when I drain hot pasta or heavy produce?

Yes — three feet at the base keep the colander steady on flat surfaces and inside the sink while draining heavier loads. Elevated, non-slip handles give you a secure grip and extra clearance so you can tip or shake without slipping.

• Three-foot base provides consistent stability on counters and in sinks
• Elevated handles offer clearance over rims and a comfortable hold
• Non-slip handle material reduces the chance of dropping the colander

Is this strainer easy to store and clean?

The stainless steel construction wipes clean and resists staining, while the design nests inside OXO stainless mixing bowls for compact storage. Because the perforations are part of a single metal bowl, there are no crevices or attached seams that trap food, making hand or dishwasher cleaning straightforward.

• Nests inside OXO stainless mixing bowls to save cabinet space
• Single-piece stainless construction reduces trapped debris
• Dishwasher-safe for simple cleanup after use

How does the 3-quart size compare to other capacity options?

The 3-quart size is ideal for everyday cooking — rinsing fruits and vegetables, or draining pasta for two to four servings. If you regularly cook for larger groups or make very large batches, consider the 5-quart option; otherwise the 3-qt balances capacity and countertop fit.

• 3-quart balances compact footprint with practical capacity
• 3-qt nests easily for storage; 5-qt available for larger needs
• Good for family meals, meal prep, and side-dish portions

Who is this for: Home cooks who want a dependable, easy-to-use colander that stays steady during draining and stores neatly. If you value durable stainless steel, quick drainage, and a comfortable non-slip grip for everyday food prep, the OXO Good Grips 3-Qt Stainless Steel Strainer is tailored to fit busy kitchens and small to medium cooking tasks.
