Hendi Colanders

Colanders support everyday preparation in professional kitchens, from rinsing produce to draining cooked ingredients. SIA La RONDE’s range includes handled bowls, a fine-mesh sink colander and a stainless-steel funnel. Choose by the ingredient, batch and working position: the right format helps staff drain, transfer and clean equipment as part of a practical preparation sequence.

Equipment and tasks

Freestanding colanders with a base and two handles suit tasks where ingredients need to drain before being moved. After washing vegetables or draining pasta, the bowl can stand while liquid runs off, then be lifted by its handles for transfer. Smaller and broader formats allow the opening to match the quantity being prepared, rather than crowding every batch into one vessel.

The expandable sink colander provides a different option for rinsing and draining. Its fine mesh retains smaller ingredients, and support legs let it sit directly in the sink. Adjustable handles extend to a maximum sink width of 545 mm, allowing the basket to rest over a compatible basin and leaving the nearby bench available for other preparation. The handled stainless-steel funnel is suited to directing liquid or fine ingredients into a narrower receiving vessel.

Parameters in use

A 415 mm diameter gives the Profi Line colander a broad opening for loading and spreading a substantial batch. The 365 mm and 325 mm diameters offer more compact alternatives for smaller tasks. Overall dimensions also help with positioning: the 465 × 345 × 175 mm size of one Profi Line model describes its footprint and depth, so staff can judge bench placement and the vertical room needed when loaded.

Freestanding colanders can remain supported as liquid drains, then be moved using their paired handles. Dishwasher-suitable models fit machine-washing routines after preparation. Stainless-steel construction is durable and readily washable, making the Profi Line colanders practical for repeated kitchen use and cleaning between tasks. For transferring contents, the funnel’s dimensions describe a compact tool designed to direct liquid or fine ingredients into a narrower receiving vessel.

Choosing a product

Begin with the ingredient and where draining takes place. Choose a freestanding bowl when a batch needs to drain before it is carried onward; select a broader opening when ingredients need room to spread. For sink-side rinsing, the adjustable basket is useful when the basin can accommodate its span. A handled funnel is better suited to directing a transfer into a narrower vessel.

Then consider available working and storage space. Compare overall dimensions with the intended bench position, and select a bowl depth and opening appropriate to the preparation task. A base supports a colander while it drains, whereas the sink model uses support legs in the basin. Where machine cleaning is part of the kitchen routine, dishwasher-suitable options make it straightforward to return the equipment to the cleaning cycle after use.
