Amazon.com Review: Draining water from food takes on new dimensions with this 2-piece, 2-quart colander. With three sturdy legs to keep contents above water, the deep colander drains up to 1 pound of cooked pasta. The shallow colander can be used separately for small amounts of food, inverted to drain cans, or interlocked by a tab into the large colander. When interlocked so that the shallow colander faces dome side out, the double colander forms a perfect interior space for leafy greens that can then be rinsed and shaken dry. With both parts nested together, the colander measures 4-1/4 by 9 (14 if including handle length) inches. Dishwasher-safe, the set carries Tupperware's lifetime warranty against chipping, cracking, breaking, and peeling. --Ann Bieri

Rating: - Very nice, easy to use colander
This is a really nice sized colander. Its lightweight and the handle makes it very easy to use. I rarely use the white "lid" but it can be very handy.
I use this colander a LOT and really like it.
Rating: - Great buy
Got this piece as a fast solution and turned out works so well that i never went to buy a steel one as i had planed.The lid works great and helps get out the extra water and works good as a double strainer for homemade fresh juices too!
Rating: - Great for pasta
Now I have a solution where I can shake a colander full of pasta and not lose it all over the sink. It works like a standard colander, but the enhancement of a lid adds the ability to twist and shake to get more water out.
The lid also serves as a colander in it's own right, and that's for items which are served well by a shallow colander.
