This Clip-On Colander Makes Draining Pasta So Much Easier

If you have a small kitchen, you know just how much space a colander can take up. While it’s one of the most useful tools that a home chef could own, it occupies a lot of precious cabinet space since it’s often awkwardly shaped and bulky. However, one tool offers an ingenious solution to this common kitchen woe.

Thousands of Amazon shoppers have bought and loved Kitchen Gizmo’s snap-on strainer, with one reviewer calling it “one of the best designed and engineered kitchen gadgets I've ever used.” And because it’s currently 40 percent off, you can grab one for just $18 right now.

The space-saving snap-on colander is an extremely convenient tool for those who love to quickly boil up some pasta for weeknight dinners, and the strainer is made from flexible heat-resistant silicone that clips onto the sides of pans, pots, and bowls of nearly all sizes. Plus, it’s strong enough to stay in place even when straining heavier items like potatoes and dumplings.

Shoppers have left glowing reviews about this convenient tool, with one calling Kitchen Gizmo’s Snap-n-Strain colander “just the coolest kitchen gadget.”

“This beats using a lid or a large colander to drain pasta, or grease or fat off cooked meats,” said the same reviewer. “It fits all my pots and pans and has been really easy to clean. The material it is made out of seems to almost repel grease and other things that might stick on cookware.”

“Best kitchen gadget ever,” wrote another. “I love that I don't have to take out my full strainer and I can clip this to any pot or pan I'm using. It fits nice and snug, and the strainer part comes up high enough so the food doesn't spill over the top into the sink.”

At $18, this product is a total steal, so if you’re looking to up your at-home pasta game, Kitchen Gizmo’s Snap-n-Strain colander might just be the thing.
