OXO Good Grips 8-Inch Double Rod Strainer — 8" Fine-Mesh Sieve with Non-Slip Handle

The OXO Good Grips 8-inch Double Rod Strainer is a fine-mesh kitchen sieve designed to rinse, drain, and strain fruits, vegetables, grains and pasta with a stable, non-slip handle.

This 8-inch strainer from OXO's Good Grips line combines a dense stainless-steel mesh with a reinforced double-rod frame to make everyday draining tasks faster and less messy. The wide rim and balancing loop let the sieve sit securely on bowls or pots, while the soft, slip-resistant handle absorbs pressure for a comfortable hold even when wet. Dishwasher-safe construction and a hanging loop add convenience for storage and cleanup.

How does this strainer make rinsing and draining easier?

The fine mesh catches small particles and seeds while letting water flow through quickly, so you can rinse berries, drain stock, or strain cooked grains without losing food down the sink. The wide stainless-steel rim spreads weight evenly, preventing the strainer from tipping when seated on a pot or bowl.

• Fine stainless-steel mesh captures small solids and seeds
• Wide rim and balancing loop stabilize the strainer on cookware
• Double-rod frame reduces flexing under load

Is the handle comfortable and slip-resistant during use?

The Good Grips handle is made from a soft, pressure-absorbing material that fits the palm and reduces hand tension during repetitive tasks. It maintains grip when wet, giving you more control while pouring or holding the sieve over steam and boiling pots.

• Ergonomic shape conforms to the hand for extended use
• Textured, non-slip surface performs well wet or dry
• Hanging loop keeps the strainer within reach when stored

Will this strainer withstand regular kitchen use and cleaning?

The reinforced double-rod stainless-steel construction resists bending and holds shape through frequent use. The materials are durable and dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup after straining sauces, stocks, or pastas.

• Double-rod frame for long-lasting rigidity
• Stainless-steel mesh and rim resist corrosion
• Dishwasher-safe for straightforward maintenance

What sizes and tasks is the 8-inch model best suited for?

The 8-inch diameter is a versatile mid-size option, large enough for draining pasta or rinsing a pint of berries yet small enough to handle over saucepans and medium bowls. OXO also offers 3-inch and 6-inch variations for smaller tasks or detailed work.

• 8-inch fits medium pots, bowls and typical countertop tasks
• Great for pasta, beans, berries, grains and sauces
• Part of a set of sizes for multipurpose kitchen use
