Foldable Steamer Strainer Basket for Pots and Pans

One basket, three everyday jobs

• Drains pasta without the splash

  Lower the basket into the pot, lift it out, and the water runs back through the fine mesh while the pasta stays put. It sits neatly in a soup pot without any fuss, so the sink stays clear.

• Folds flat for storage

  The hinged frame collapses flat, so the basket slides into a drawer instead of standing up in a cabinet. The fold takes a few seconds, and the mesh stays tight when it opens again.

• Cool handles, steady lift

  The handles stay cool to the touch, so you can lift hot pasta or fried food without reaching for stainless tongs. Lift from the pot, tip onto the plate, and skip the separate fry scoop.

From pot to plate in one lift

1. 1
   Open it on the counter

   Press the folding handle and the flat frame springs into a deep bowl. Open it fully before it goes near the water.

2. 2
   Lower it into the pot

   Set the basket in boiling pasta water, or over a pot with a little simmering water for steaming. Add the pasta or vegetables.

3. 3
   Lift and drain

   Lift by the cool-touch handles and let the water run back through the mesh. For frying, let excess oil drip into the pot before you lift.

4. 4
   Tip it onto the plate

   Turn the basket over the plate. Rinse it, shake out the water, dry it fully, then fold it flat for the drawer.

Rinse it, dry it, keep it bright

• Rinse after use

  Run the basket under the tap to clear pasta bits and oil from the fine mesh.

• Dry before folding

  Shake out the water and dry the hinge fully so the frame folds clean and stays free of spots.

• Store flat

  Once it is dry, fold it closed and slide it into a drawer.
