Q: How wide is this? The product info appears to say 8" but that doesn't feel narrow.
A: Hello JR - We appreciate your interest in this Plastic Narrow Over the Sink Expandable Colander with Soaking Tray Green. Overall” dimensions: 3 in (H) × 19.8 in (W) × 8 in (D). So the “8 inch” figure you saw is probably the depth (front to back), not the width. The width (span) is ~19.8 in (max) per the listing.- Auria

Q: Can I use this to strain boiling rice? 1. Are the pores fine enough. 2. Is the plastic going to melt with hot water?

Polypropylene exhibit good resistance to high temperatures and are much less likely to be affected by boiling water. PP when used as drain pipes is known for its durability and resistance to chemicals. i hope this helps - Emma
