KitchenCraft Stainless Steel Half-Moon Pan Strainer / Pot Drainer, Silver

Great little gadget and well made. Value for money

used to using a plastic strainer which became distorted with use and the handle over the steamy water so decide to try this steel one. So far works as advertised and gets clean in the dishwasher with no problems. It did feel awkward at first holding the pan in the right hand and findin the best position for the strainer due to the length of the handle but soon adapted and found the best position to hold it on the pan.

Overall is does the job intended but if you are right handed and would normally hold the pan in your right hand then some adjustments are needed - meaning easiest to use if pan is in the left hand. It has a lip which is very handy to hold against the pan - the only problem being that if you hold it in your left hand which I would have preferred the lip is in the wrong place and then the food is more likely to fall out the pan. I've had to adjust to having the pan in my left hand and this in my right - then the lip is not facing your body and you get the benefits. It would be better with a lip on both sides.

A sort of useful item, apart two main problems: 1. It can only be used in the left hand - if lip was both sides, you could use in any hand! 2. The width is too narrow, consequently, the cooked items fall over the lip. If these were corrected, it would have five stars!

great quality and works well, much better than a colander, especially when you need to drain in the middle of the cooking process. I am right handed and hold the pan in my right hand and the strainer in my left - not problem. The lip is useful for securing the pot in place but it can be used the other way around, without help from the lip. It is still much easier than using a spoon to hold back the contents. The build quality is great and It goes through the dishwasher no problem.

I bought one of these in Sweden many years ago and was unable to replace it in the U.K. when finally it broke. If you are still using the lid to drain your saucepans or decanting into a colander then you are in for a treat with this simple tool. It works perfectly. This brand is solidly made. It was delivered promptly. You’ll be pleased with your purchase.

Good strainer but awkward to use it as to be held in left hand but l am right handed this strainer should have had a lip each side so that it could be used by either hand,other wise does the job but could do with being re designed

Great little item that does what it is supposed to do, especially when you cook food in small amounts (for one or two people). However depending on which hand you would expect to hold it in, it might take a little getting used to as the lip is only on the right side - meaning that you have to hold the saucepan with your right hand and the tool with the left. I expected it to be the other way round (I'm right-handed) and so did my partner (he's left-handed) but we are both quite ambidextrous so we have no problem with it. Some people will find this difficult, be they left- or right-handed, simply based on how they would expect to hold the pan. A lip on both sides would remedy this problem easily. That said I would get this item out instead of my colander at any time!
