Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean the OXO Good Grips Double Rod Strainer?
The stainless steel mesh and frame are top-rack dishwasher safe, so you can simply rinse it off and place it in the dishwasher for effortless cleanup.
Can I use this strainer to drain pasta?
Yes, the 6-inch and 8-inch sizes are ideal for draining pasta, and the resting loop allows you to set it securely on the pot edge while you pour.
How do I strain homemade stock or broth with this strainer?
For best results, use the 8-inch model over a large bowl or pot, and line the fine mesh with cheesecloth if you want an even clearer broth.
Will this strainer fit over my stockpot?
The 8-inch model fits most standard stockpots and large bowls, and the integrated resting loop helps it sit securely on rims up to that width.
Is the fine mesh fine enough to sift flour?
Yes, the fine mesh surface is suitable for sifting flour and dusting cocoa powder over baked goods, though a dedicated sifter may give a finer result.
What is included in the box?
The box contains one OXO Good Grips Double Rod Strainer in your selected size, ready to use with no assembly required.
Will the handle rust or corrode over time?
No, the non-slip Good Grips handle is made from durable santoprene-style material that resists moisture, and the stainless steel frame is rust-resistant.
Is this strainer safe for use with hot liquids?
Yes, the stainless steel body is designed to handle boiling water, hot pasta, and simmering stocks without warping or releasing any chemicals.
How does a fine mesh strainer differ from a colander?
A fine mesh strainer has a tightly woven screen that holds back small particles like rice, quinoa, tea leaves, or berry skins, while a colander has large holes suited only for draining pasta or washing large vegetables.
