The common mistakes for different uses of a colander are defined errors that people often make when it comes to how to use a colander.
Common colander usage mistakes are as follows:
People can also use colanders to drain oil from deep frying even though it is not meant for that purpose. The heat of the oil makes the metal very hot and it is not safe to hold or touch.
People can also break their colander by letting them fall on the floor when drying them after washing in the sink.
People can also use colanders with holes in them to drain pasta, but small or thin pasta like macaroni or rotini may slip through the larger holes.
Using a colander for more than one purpose might wear them out.
One of the most common mistakes that people make is using a colander as a makeshift pot. This may sound like a good idea but it causes the holes to be larger and can make them break more easily.
Avoid making these mistakes when using a colander and stick to use cases outlined earlier mentioned.
