Handles are typically made from bamboo, acacia, or other wood species. These wooden handles are commonly paired with stainless-steel baskets.
Handle lengths vary across listings, ranging from about 1 inch up to approximately 11.75 inches.
Wooden handles are described as cool-to-the-touch, comfortable and ergonomic to grip, and some listings highlight them as ecofriendly.
Product notes advise keeping wooden items dry, avoiding microwaves and high heat to prevent discoloration or deformation, not leaving them immersed for long periods, and generally recommend hand washing.
Strainer heads are typically stainless steel (including 430 stainless) or tinned steel.
