Brand new. Final nonnegotiable price. Thanks! A colander like all the others? Not at all. You can fold this one out and use it directly in the pot – half-way if you need a steaming insert for vegetables and folded fully out when cooking pasta. Product details Can be used as a steamer insert (semi-open) and pasta insert (fully open) in most 3-5 quart pots. The colander can have two different heights. Easy to store when not used since it is collapsible. A stable bottom edge ensures that the colander stands evenly. For steaming vegetables, which retain their taste and nutrients.
