Why Stainless Steel Over Plastic?
Plastic strainers warp in boiling water, stain with use, and deteriorate over time. This 18cm Stainless Steel Strainer is built to last for years, handling boiling water, heavy loads, and regular dishwasher cleaning without any degradation. The fine mesh catches even the smallest grains of rice and lentils — particularly useful for South Asian cooking where rinsing rice and draining dal are everyday tasks.

- Wash with warm soapy water and a soft brush to clean the mesh thoroughly
- Dishwasher safe – place on the top rack for best results
- Dry thoroughly after washing to maintain the stainless steel finish
- Avoid abrasive scourers that may scratch the mesh surface
