Fantastic basket! Can hold at least 2 cups of rice, maybe even 3. The base is sturdy; you can tilt it to drain water through the small perforations on the opposite side with a handy lip for a solid grip. The perforations are small and effective. No need to worry about rice grains slipping through. It’s suitable for rinsing various items like veggies and grains such as quinoa, thanks to its oval shape. Much easier to handle than a round strainer, and it has a larger capacity than most large strainers. Made from durable plastic, it’s not overly rigid and is easy to clean.
