Good Gadget:
This colander is great, for its size. I use it to strain pasta - just place it on the pot of boiling water, then add your pasta & strain it when you're done w/o having to get out the big bulky colander from the cupboard. I also love that it collapses for much easier storage. The only drawback is its size - don't expect to do a pound of spaghetti. We're a family of 3 - I can make it work, I just wish it was a little bigger.

I love this gadget!:
There are plenty of holes evenly-spaced around the basket. The handle feels strong and comfortable making this a pleasure to use. It's a pretty opaque blue; I like to look at, hanging with my pots n pans. The size fits perfectly in my 3-qt. Cuisinart Chef's Classic saucepan, it's as tho they were made for each other. Liked this strainer so much, I'm purchasing the 3.5-qt. colander in the matching blue. I hope it stands up well in the sink, like standard metal and hard-plastic ones. Thanks, Amazon, for the variety of kitchenware you have available, and the 4-3 and free super-saver shipping offers!
