A: Hello Victoria! Yes, our 3qt Strainer is able to be nested inside of our 5qt Strainer for storage.

A: Great question! Our 3Qt Stainless Steel Colander is able to hold one pound of cooked pasta. However, the colander would be filled. If you are wanting more room, we would recommend our 5Qt Stainless Steel Colander instead. I hope this helps!

A: Thanks for your question. Our 3 qt Stainless Steel Colander is dishwasher safe. However, we would recommend to wash this on the top-rack.

A: This item is made out of an 18/8 high grade stainless steel.
