Collapsible colanders

Space-saving genius: collapsible colanders! They’ll work like any regular colander, but will fold flat for storage.
The small style (1 quart capacity) is 8″ in diameter and has a lip hook to secure it on a pot edge. It collapses to 1″ thick. The large style (2 quart capacity) is 10-1/4″ in diameter and has a fold-out stand for in-sink use. It collapses to 1-5/8″ thick. Both styles have sturdy plastic frames with flexible silicone strainers and silicone-coated handles.
Heat resistant to 250°F/120°C and dishwasher safe, they are a boon for any space-constrained kitchen.

These things are fantastic! Especially if you eat a lot of salads and cook lots of pasta like we do.
I love that you could just stack them on top of your pots rather than having a dedicated space in the cupboard
