Product Description
Okay here's the skinny on strainers: cheap ones can bend under an incoming load of pasta and hot water, they can rust, and if they don't have a loop opposite the handle you end up trapped at the sink while the water drains. A strainer of superior quality on the other hand is a tool you'll use with pleasure for many years.
Amazon.com Review
A required tool in the home of a seasoned cook, this strainer has a fine-grid mesh for draining the excess liquid from just about any food, including fruit, vegetables, and pasta. The wide stainless- steel brim and loop make it easy for the strainer to rest on almost any bowl or pot, and the double-rod construction makes it extra sturdy. And it comes with a hanging loop for convenient storage. The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

Very sturdy - worth the money December 23, 2008

I bought this at Whole Foods for $22 plus tax, because I needed it right away. It's cheaper on amazon, but still pricey for a strainer. You may wonder why it costs so much more than other strainers.
Well, as one other reviewer pointed out, it actually has a double layer of mesh, making it mush sturdier than other strainers, and able to keep its shape. Nothing out there compares.
I used it to sift dry ingredients for baking, but I also intend to use it to make vegetable stock. You will not be disappointed with this strainer!
Exactly what I wanted October 27, 2008

It does its job, it hasn't come apart, and it shows no signs of rusting or breaking. All I want is a tool that does its job well. This one does exactly that. Its hardest use in my household is straining "things" from my beer and mead brewing experiments. That typically means 5 gallons of hot fluid with varying weights of things that must be strained out. No problems.
High quality strainer August 29, 2008

This is the perfect size strainer with a good grip and very high quality stainless steel mesh. I've used it constantly since purchasing it. The length of the handle is perfect for spanning my small kitchen sink, so I can let things drain after rinsing them. It's large enough to hold several cans of beans, or chopped tomatoes for draining.
Great product.
 not so sturdy August 9, 2008

I was disappointed in the insubstantial feeling and quality of the stainless steel....made in China, btw. I doubt it will meet the requirements of durability and longevity I had come to expect from OXO.
Frankly, I am disappointed.
Great, sturdy strainer February 9, 2008

The size of this makes it perfect for what I use it for; incorporating flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, etc when baking. It's large size make it a suitable substitution for a more expensive French tami. Unlike a tami this has the ability to be suspended over a bowl hands free. It's also handy as a cooling sieve for freshly roasted coffee beans.
