Seesawing Food Strainers

The Ole Jensen Colander is a Hybrid Fruit Rinser and Fruit Bowl

The Ole Jensen Colander might look odd at first, but consider the practicality of its unique form. Examining the culinary accessory, you might begin to appreciate it as two dishes combined, with each portion angled up and away from the other and featuring a different texture.

To use the vessel as a sieve, hold its perforated side level and fill it with fruit, vegetables, pasta, or whatever else might need rinsing. Set it down near a drain to let the residual water drip out. When you'd like to serve the contents of the Ole Jensen Colander, just tilt it on its other side so that the bowl without perforations is sitting upon the countertop or table. The liquid will stop leaking and you will have avoided dirtying a second dish.
