The Araven 11" polypropylene colander is a straightforward, practical draining tool designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. Made from food-safe polypropylene, it handles the routine demands of a working kitchen — draining pasta, rinsing vegetables, and straining stocks — without fuss.

Polypropylene is a sensible choice for a busy kitchen environment. It resists staining, holds up well against repeated washing, and won't corrode or taint food. At 230g it's light enough for continuous use during service, which reduces fatigue for kitchen staff working at pace.

  • Safe for use in the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher
  • Lightweight polypropylene construction resists staining and corrosion
  • Suitable for draining pasta, vegetables, salads, and similar prep tasks
  • Easy to clean by hand or through a commercial dishwasher cycle

There are no particular installation requirements — this is a standalone utensil. It's worth considering whether the 11" diameter suits your typical batch sizes. For kitchens draining large volumes of pasta or bulk produce in a single pass, a larger colander or a purpose-built draining basket may be more practical.

This colander is well suited to small and medium-sized kitchens, café-style operations, and as a secondary draining tool in larger sites. If you're equipping a kitchen and want to make sure you're selecting the right sizes and quantities across your smallwares range, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.

Frequently asked questions

Is this colander suitable for draining pasta in a busy service kitchen?

It works well for standard batch sizes, but the 11" diameter is best suited to small-to-medium portions rather than bulk draining. If you're regularly cooking pasta for large covers in one pass, a larger colander or a purpose-built pot insert may serve you better.

Can this colander go through a commercial dishwasher?

Yes — it is rated as dishwasher safe, which makes it practical for kitchens running a high turnover of utensils through a commercial wash cycle. It is also microwave and freezer safe, giving it flexibility across different prep stages.

How does polypropylene compare to stainless steel for a colander in a commercial kitchen?

Polypropylene is lighter, won't corrode, and is generally easier on the hands during repetitive use. Stainless steel colanders tend to be more robust under heavy or rough handling and may suit higher-intensity environments better. For general prep tasks in most kitchens, polypropylene performs reliably day to day.
