De Buyer Stainless Steel Conical Colander with Hook 28cm

The De Buyer conical colander is a straightforward, well-made drainage tool designed for everyday use in professional kitchens. Constructed from stainless steel throughout, it features the classic conical form that allows water to drain efficiently while retaining food securely. The raised base keeps drained food clear of the liquid below, which is a practical hygiene consideration during a busy service.

In a working kitchen environment, colanders of this type are used constantly — rinsing vegetables, draining pasta, straining stocks, and refreshing blanched greens under cold water. The stainless steel construction holds up well to repeated use, high-temperature contact, and commercial dishwasher cycles without deteriorating. The open rolled edge along the rim avoids the trapped food residue that can build up in folded or closed edges, making end-of-service cleaning straightforward.

• Raised base keeps drained food separated from run-off liquid
• Hygienic open rolled rim edge — easy to clean thoroughly
• Integral hook allows quick, tidy storage on a pot rack or rail
• Comfortable handle supports confident, secure one-handed use

At 28cm, this colander sits in a useful mid-range size — practical for single portions through to small batch work, but kitchens handling continuous high-volume pasta or vegetable passes may find a larger colander better suited to their throughput. It works well as part of a set alongside a smaller colander for more delicate tasks.
