Strain Pot Strainer and Pasta Strainer - Adjustable Silicone Clip On Food Strainers for Pots, Pans, and Bowls - Kitchen Drainer Colander

This is a very useful and important kitchen item cause it protects you from burning yourself with hot pasta water. It’s adjustable to plenty of pots and the colors of the rubber material are bright & fun!!!

I have put off getting one of these for years. Love it. Easy to use. Did loose noodles. Good price.

I wasn't sure what to expect because I've used full strainers all my life but this is the simplest thing. It seems like floppy silicone when you're just looking at it but it clips strongly to the side of your pan. My mom watched me use it, being so scared the whole thing was going to fall off and my noodles would end up in the sink but she tested the clips and felt better. It's sturdy. It won't clip to anything that has a lip but if the sides are flat, you're good. I drained my penne and only lost one noodle. What I'm not used to is only straining halfway. For me, I used a whole strainer and am able to dump the whole pan and get all the water out. With this, you'll only be able to turn the pan halfway without losing noodles. Personally, I wouldn't use this with a ton of noodles because of that reason but if it's a small serving in a small pan, it should be fine. Overall, for a single serving or small amount, I'll use this. For a larger pan, I'll use a big strainer. It works great though! I'm happy with it and it's super easy to clean.

As another reviewer noted, clips are mounted upside down. You can take them out and flip them and works, but the fit is loose. This was clearly an error as when the clips are repositioned, the arrows point in opposite directions ( on clip versus the strainer). If you don’t flip the clips, the pour spout is pointing into the pot and leaves gaps. You can decide if worth keeping with the design flaw.

I purchased one and the clips are upside-down. I thought okay maybe an error - a one off. I ordered a second one and received it today. The clips are upside-down. I am disappointed to say the least.

The AOWOTO strainer is a useful space saving tool that works well when used on small pots. I tried the strainer in all my pots and pans to see if it would not only fit properly but also do it's intended job. My conclusion is as follows... This size strainer works great on smaller or maybe medium sized pots, pans or bowls. I tried to attach it to bigger pots but it did not fit properly, therefore it did not strain correctly. Also, wherever you decide to use this, cannot have a "lip" on top. It should all be even, for the clamps to attach properly. Sadly, almost all my pots have this, except one. That being said, I do find this very useful and a better alternative to the big, clumsy, steel strainer that I own. It is really easy to attach and the silicone material provides great heat protection. All in all, the strainer drains quite well, has a small footprint and...I love the color and design!

I ordered this strainer because I was tired of using a separate strainer. I wanted to simplify my kitchen items. It is easy to attach to any pan or pot by using the large silicone-covered alligator clips on the sides. When I cook spaghetti, macaroni, or any kind of pasta, I cook a whole pound, use what I need, and freeze the rest for later when I'm in a hurry. I tried using this strainer for spaghetti but I didn't have a way to cool it off before separating it into freezer packages. So I had to put it in the refrigerator to cool it off first. I used this for potatoes and various veggies and it was perfect because we were ready to eat the veggies immediatelly. They didn't need to be cooled off. Over all, I love this strainer and will be using it for all my stovetop boiling. It's so convenient, cleans quickly and easily, ,and stores anywhere. Much nicer than a whole strainer taking up cabinet space. It would make a great stocking stuffer this Christmas.

This product works well for straining small items like vegetables what does not work at all for straining pasta.
