For commercial kitchen colanders, stainless steel is the preferred material thanks to its durability and hygienic qualities. Unlike plastic, stainless steel is resistant to staining, odours, and high temperatures, making it the right choice for draining and rinsing ingredients.
Our colander collection includes various designs, including footed colanders to keep ingredients elevated, preventing contact with contaminated surfaces and ensuring proper drainage. These colanders also have additional height, minimising splash-back and the risk of burns.
Selecting the right colander stainless steel for your commercial kitchen depends on multiple factors, including size, perforation type, and ease of handling. Here are some key aspects to keep in mind:
Can I use a colander for finer ingredients?
It depends on how fine the ingredients are. For example, vermicelli noodles can be strained with a colander, but baking ingredients like cocoa and flour are better matched with a sieve or sifter.
Can I use a colander for straining hot liquids?
Yes, stainless steel colanders are heat-resistant, making them perfect for handling hot liquids like boiling water when draining pasta or vegetables. Strainers can also be used for this task.
Why should I choose a stainless steel colander over a plastic one?
Stainless steel colanders are more durable, heat-resistant, and hygienic than plastic ones, which can absorb odours and stain over time.
Are stainless steel colanders dishwasher-safe?
All stainless steel colanders available at Tomkin are dishwasher-safe, making cleanup easy and efficient.
How do I prevent food from sticking to my colander?
To prevent pasta and other foods from sticking, rinse the colander with warm water before use and shake it gently to release excess water after draining.
Do colanders come with lids?
No, colanders do not commonly come with lids. However, if this is required, please contact our team—we may have spare lids available that match your desired colander!
How do I properly store a colander in a busy kitchen?
For efficient storage, nest multiple colanders together or hang them on a wall-mounted rack to save space while keeping them accessible.
How do I clean and maintain my stainless steel colander?
Regularly wash with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Soak the colander in a vinegar and water solution before rinsing thoroughly to remove any buildup.
Tomkin offers a premium selection of stainless steel colanders designed for busy commercial kitchens. All sourced from trusted brands like Chef Inox and Eterna, our colanders are built to endure the high demands of professional cooking environments.
