Setup, Compatibility & Care
This colander requires no setup—it is ready to use immediately upon unboxing. It is compatible with all standard kitchen sink types and pairs well with most mixing bowls. To maintain the life and finish of your colander:
- While dishwasher safe, hand washing with a soft sponge is recommended to maintain the exterior sheen.
- Avoid using steel wool or harsh abrasive pads, as these can damage the stain-resistant coating.
- Dry the colander thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots.
- Store in a dry place to ensure the longevity of the materials.
