Joseph Joseph Square Colander Medium 21cm – Green, Non-Slip Vertical Handle

Draining a full pot one-handed is where most colanders fail. You tip the pan in, the colander shifts, and the good half of the meal goes down the drain with the water — which is a genuinely bad moment when it is the rice for six people.

This is the medium size, 21 cm across and 11.5 cm deep, in green. Joseph Joseph gave it one vertical handle instead of two side lugs, so it stands upright and steady when you set it down in the sink and your other hand stays free for the pan. The handle is wrapped in non-slip silicone for wet hands, the vertical holes drain quickly, and the square corners mean you can tip it out without chasing food round a curve. Square also stores better — it sits flat against the back of a cupboard where a round bowl wastes the corners. Dishwasher safe when there is power and water, and easy to rinse by hand when there is not. Joseph Joseph have replaced this generation with a redesigned single-size colander, so this is the last of the medium green run.

Dimensions: 21 x 21 x 11.5 cm. A second source gives 8.5 x 8.5 x 4.5 in (21.6 x 21.6 x 11.4 cm), so the two agree within rounding. Material is deliberately not stated: sources for this colander family contradict each other, and we would rather say nothing than print the wrong plastic.
