How to prevent handle from giving in? Dont have one.




The metal colander I had, with one side long handle gave in. #1 Best Silicone Collapsible Colander Food Strainer has extended silicone with raised dots for a non-slip grip. For collapsing the colander, the base is sturdy and can be pressed down to get flat. If not using an extra plate to collect the drained water (then handles are not an issue), straining cooked rice or pasta is a two person affair. With two sides to catch, the handles on this will never break and make it easy to balance the hot food while it collects in the sieve. The medium size is convenient when you decide to do the straining by divide and rule.

She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
