xMeet BLUE GINKGO Over the Sink Colander Basket
Designed for modern kitchens, this pink extendable colander blends compact storage with multi-tasking practicality. When spread, it stretches from 14 to 19 inches to fit a wide range of sinks, keeping your prep area tidy and your workflow smooth.
The cradle-like bottom and raised edge help keep drained liquids away from your food, so you can drain pasta, rinse produce, or thaw frozen items with less mess and more confidence. The soft, comfortable grip makes it easy to lift and carry, and you can even use it on the counter as a freestanding drying basket when you’re done rinsing.
