I was really excited to try this as I have been looking for something similar. I wanted something easy to use and that had the lid with the strainer on it. This one works fantastic! It was a good size and great for everyday use. It's so nice being able to drain what I am cooking without having to use a colander. It seems like it is going to last a long time and I definitely plan on buying more. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
