Not sure if anyone else has mentioned or even noticed this or not, but tonight while I was packing for a show tomorrow, I placed the smallest colander into the smallest SS Bowl. It doesn't "nest", but it does fit very well for draining purposes! It sits just around the rim- giving an inch or so at the bottom of the bowl to drain liquids. I checked the other 2 sizes. The middle colander doesn't fit AS nicely, but would work. The Larger colander fits very well- just like the small one.

So that's a nice perk- IMHO. Sometimes you need to drain something for awhile- sitting in a bowl, or just choose to while you complete another step!

Sorry if I'm a little slow on the up-take and am just now noticing this, or if it was mentioned in the PIG. Haven't had time to do much new-product homework. :D
 
Cool! Now I think I WILL invest in these actually! I like being able to strain into a bowl vs. the sink sometimes- the sink at our new apt isn't as large as our former apt so I like to leave the sink free. That's an awesome benefit!
 
That's a new one on me. I never even thought to check. Thanks for sharing.
 
Oh, I like that! Thanks for sharing....
 


Hi there! Thank you for sharing your discovery with us. It's always great to find new ways to use our products. I'm glad you found that the smallest colander fits nicely in the smallest SS bowl for draining purposes. That's definitely a convenient perk to have in the kitchen. I'll have to give it a try myself. Thanks again for sharing and happy cooking!
