I stumbled across this Soak and Strain Colander Washing Bowl while finishing up my blog post for My Top 5 Must Have Kitchen Gadgets For 2018 and was impressed by its usefulness.
I really could have added it as #6 on the list but the article was complete and I just was too lazy to redo the graphics!
It is now one of my frequently used kitchen utensils.
This product is actually a combination plastic mesh food strainer and food colander and I guess the makers could not come up with a really cool name!
I use personally use it almost daily for cleaning and soaking fruits and veggies like blueberries, strawberries, broccoli, cauliflower, or precut packaged salad mixes (since I still rinse them even when the packaging says “pre rinsed”).
