OXO Good Grips 6-Inch Double Rod Strainer

I love the size of this strainer. This is ideal to keep in your drawer for small kitchens. We're not heavy cookers or bakers to own a large strainer; we just needed a small one to strain the skin off the milk we warm for coffee. This was also easy to clean even at your gentlest. The metal holes/wires looks strong and high quality too, so I'm not really afraid of creating or opening more holes when washing. Great item to have in kitchen.

I recently purchased this as an experiment to see if I could sprout lentils and broccoli sprouts in it. The Oxo Good Grips 8-inch is perfect for my needs as it has a large capacity and it is made of stainless steel mesh screen. I’ve tried sprouting in both a glass and plastic vessel successfully, but the vessels tend to heat up and then the house smells of brassica, which isn’t pleasant. For the broccoli sprouts, I soaked three tablespoons of seed for two hours and then drained and rinsed the seeds in the Oxo strainer, I wrapped a wet but winged-out kitchen towel about the exterior of the strainer and covered the top with it, and placed the strainer in a bowl in case it dripped water. I rinsed the seeds twice daily and dampened the cloth. I grew the freshest and cleanest sprouts yet and it was easy. The strainer itself is lightweight and of good quality, and I find I am using it also for other kitchen tasks. This is a win, win, for me, without buying another unnecessary piece of equipment that may or may not be used regularly. Here is a photo of my broccoli sprouts.

Frustrated with trying to wash small grains using my colander lined with cheesecloth, I ordered this mesh strainer. To my delight, this strainer exceeds my expectations!I decided on the 6-inch size because I wanted to be able to scoop up spaetzle from boiling water, or skim the solids and foam that rise to the top of my broth. For these duties, the 6-inch size is perfect. It fits into my 3-quart saucepan with enough room to swirl it around to catch the goodies.It's pretty deep, too, holding two cups of grain. In fact, if you need exactly two cups of grain, you could simply pour the grain straight into this strainer, up to the bottom of the steel rim. No need for a measuring cup!After washing the strainer, I recommend hanging or standing it upright to dry. At first, I laid it flat on my drying rack, but the mesh didn't want to drain out very quickly. When I stood it up, the mesh drained out immediately. All stainless steel will rust if it's left wet for long enough, so make sure the mesh is dry before storing it.As for storing this, know that it's a fairly large strainer, measuring 14 inches long and (of course) 6 inches across. I simply lay mine across my colander. Perfect solution for my small kitchen.Cleaning this strainer could be a challenge if it becomes covered in batter or other thick, sticky ingredients (like cooked pasta.) Remember to soak items in COLD water before washing and that will help break the protein bonds. I used my potato scrubber to clean this strainer after a messy job. The mesh is so sturdy that it will stand up to real scrubbing!One of my favorite things about this strainer is that it feels balanced when full. It doesn't have a tendency to tip over on its side in your hand like some other strainers do. Maybe that is because of the double rod construction, or perhaps it is the flatter handle grip (not round like the wooden ones.) Whatever the reason, it is a joy to use.I like this strainer so much I may add the 8-inch version to my collection. Highly recommend!

Amazing!!!!! I needed something to get the strawberry seeds out of my shake and this strainer is amazing and did the job!

Solid construction. Doesn't hold as much volume company to others of the same diameter.

I needed a strainer for quinoa. I looked through my pantry and discovered that all my colanders were OXO. Hadn't even realized that was the brand, but I can honestly say they have all held up well; I have had several of them for years. The decision to purchase this OXO strainer for my quinoa was a no brainer. I just used it for straining a new batch of quinoa and it worked as advertised. Not a single quinoa seed went through this fine mesh. I highly recommend this strainer.

Very well made, the screen size is good. Easy to grip handle, and it is not flimsy. Very good for those smaller jobs like straining seeds from a juicer.

This is an all-purpose 'workhorse' tool in our kitchen. It's small, of course, but so handy, from things like sprinkling a small amount of icing sugar over a dessert, or sifting a few tablespoons of cocoa for a cookie recipe, rinsing out the Bodum coffee dregs (that fit if we just made 2 cups) or last bit of fruit from the kombucha dregs, emptying the last of a small pickle or olive jar, etc. The handle is easier to grasp.than a metal-only one; it's just easier to keep a grip on. Ours is about 2.5 years old, as of this writing. It's been hand-washed only, and air-dried generally, and there are zero signs of any rust or breakage developing. This kitchen tool's design and construction are solid, and it looks like it will last a very long time yet. Lots of attributes, which mean it's good value. I don't give many 5-star reviews out these days, so it's a pleasure to recommend this small strainer as excellent: It's the best of several other types and qualities of construction I've owned or used in others' kitchens in the past.

Strains quinoa perfectly, without losing a single grain. Works a treat for rice and porridge as well. Super easy to clean too and dries very quickly.

I always buy OXO kitchen tools. This 6 inch sieve works well. Good product.

After the pasta that I'd just cooked plopped into the sink because my old strainer suddenly flipped in my hand (this happened twice), I decided to look for something better. I found it in this Oxo utensil. It is well-balanced and is far less likely to flip. The grippy handle helps as well. No more ruined pasta! I am very pleased with this item. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it in my estimation. Subsequently, I bought the 8-inch model as well.
