Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Progressive International Can Colander
Customer Review: Works Great!! Must Have!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I wish you could find these in local stores...... I dropped into several stores looking for these.... Target, Williams Sonoma, CVS and a bunch of others..... They didn't even know what I was talking about when I went to the local Gourmet Kitchen Stores around town. If you haven't tried one of these you don't know what you're missing. The Stainless Steel one is nice and solid (doesn't feel cheap like the plastic ones) and worth the couple extra bucks. Quick shipping from this retailer.Customer Review: it works better on small cans
Summary: 3 Stars
This works better on small short cans of tuna etc., as you can squeese the drainer against the tuna to get the water (oil) out, and it won't spray back at you, like the lid does.Large cans it won't work.
I use this with canned pineapple, but when I use crushed pineapple it doesnt go far enough into the can to really get all the juice out, same with the chuck pineapple.
If you really want to get the juice out, I still have to use the lid or a mesh strainer, and the back of a spoon..
I use crushed pineapple alot for Jello molds, and you have to have all the juice out, so this is not good for that.
If you want to drain liquid out of large cans of stewed tomatoes or what ever, this will not work, its too small, not wide enough for large cans.
It will drain regular cans of beans, but you can use the lid also! I still have to put my canned beans into a strainer and wash them if I want all that salty stuff off.
I did not pay this price, I personally don't think its worth $8.99,unless it was longer...For less money it was worth it though.
Not sure if this is a 3 star or 2?
But if you do use alot of small short cans this will work pretty good,or just want to drain some liquid from regular cans. Cleaning this is a breeze, and it is nice looking. ( for who I don't know! lol..)
Hope this was of some help.
Good luck...
Customer Review: tuna can strainer
Summary: 3 Stars
i bought this stainless steel strainer to replace a plastic strainer.it does the job but hurts the hands as you press. the edges are not sharp so as to cut you but it hurts. also while looking for a new plastic strainer i found this very same stainless steel for half the price i paid. very dissapointed.
