How does the folding mechanism work?

The two handles clip to the sides of the basket and fold flat against it for storage. Unfold them to lift and carry the colander.

Is it dishwasher safe?

Joseph Joseph lists this colander as dishwasher safe. Place it on the top rack so the folding handles are not knocked around.

Can it hold a full pot of pasta?

It is sized for a standard pot of pasta or a batch of vegetables. Fill it evenly and support the base when carrying a heavy load.

Is it better than a metal colander?

It stores flatter and weighs less. A metal colander is sturdier and handles heat better, so pick this one if cupboard space matters most.

Does it work for rinsing rice and small grains?

The slot holes are wide, so fine grains can slip through. Use a fine-mesh sieve for rice and quinoa.

One folding colander. No bowl or lid is included.

Our take on the Joseph Joseph Duo Folding Colander

The Joseph Joseph Duo is a plastic colander with handles that fold flat against the basket so it stores inside bowls or drawers. It has slot-style holes for fast draining, corner spouts for pouring and small feet for stability in the sink. It suits small kitchens and anyone short on cupboard space. Against fixed-handle colanders it trades a little rigidity for storage, and owners like the folding design but note it is plastic and light rather than sturdy.
