Using this Nella colander is a breeze. First, place it on a flat surface using its stable aluminum base. Then, you can pour your cooked pasta, washed vegetables, or any other items that need draining into the colander. The hands - free design means you can focus on other tasks while the water drains out. When it comes to maintenance, simply wash it with warm soapy water and dry it thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the aluminum surface. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting. Also, be careful not to drop it from a height as it might damage the riveted handles or the base.
