Colander Hendi 535301

This Hendi colander pairs a standing base with two handles for draining ingredients over a bowl. Set it down to drain while staff continue preparation, then use the opposing grip points to lift and tip it. Its bowl depth helps contain ingredients through that movement, making it useful where rinsed produce or cooked pasta must be drained before the next preparation step.

Where it is used

At a vegetable preparation station, set the colander over a bowl while rinsed produce drains. Its base supports it when set down, leaving staff free to continue other preparation; the two handles provide opposing grip points when it is time to lift and tip the contents. The bowl depth helps keep ingredients within the colander during that movement.

For pasta preparation, the handles give staff a place to grip when moving the colander from the draining position to the next task. The handle length helps provide a usable grip for lifting and tipping. Its overall dimensions also matter when moving it around a busy station, where the utensil must be handled alongside other preparation equipment.

Care

Dishwasher washing gives the colander a place in the kitchen’s machine-washing workflow after draining food. Staff can send it through a dishwasher cycle, then return it to preparation work without adding a separate hand-washing step. This makes machine washing a practical part of the transition between draining and the next use.

The colander’s light empty weight makes it easier to handle when taking it to the washing area and returning it afterwards. Staff can reposition it as part of routine utensil handling without needing to manage a heavy empty vessel.

How to choose

The wide opening provides room to load prepared ingredients for draining. Consider that opening when matching the colander to the batch sizes handled at the station; its diameter alone does not determine whether it will sit securely over a particular bowl or sink.

The overall dimensions help you assess the space it occupies at the workstation and in storage. Its light empty weight makes it easier to reposition between those areas. The 60 mm handles contribute grip points for lifting and tipping, while the base lets the colander stand when set down. These features support a straightforward sequence from draining to moving and storage.
