I really love using this strainer. Like all OXO products, they paid attention to the small details. I love the grip. The place that hooks onto the bowl is study and large. My old strainer had just two hooks and skipped when I poured hot liquid through it!

The size of this item is just right and the mesh is finely spaced, making it work well for straining and mashing items like strawberries to make a glaze.

lsfla - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
This is so much larger than I thought it would be, it really is huge. I guess I should have paid more attention to the measurements so that is on me. However, the quality is not what I would've expected for an OXO brand either. The mesh hasn't held up well at all, in less than a month it already has torn a bit on the edges.
