Food-grade, temperature-resistant silicone takes center stage on our little culinary accessory that measures just 8.6 x 3.1 x 2.2 inches. Compact and totally flexible, there’s no limitations with our strainer. Two built-in clips allow you to securely attach to any pot or pan for easy draining. You can detach and clean with ease (by hand or dishwasher), then store away compactly.
Lightweight build for heavyweight performance
There’s too much work and risk involved in holding a strainer with one hand while steadying a boiling-hot pot of pasta with the other, hoping you don’t burn your hand as you drain out the water. Stop the madness — and free up both your hands. Our clip-on strainer allows you to safely hold a pot with both hands and tilt in one direction for easy flow. Safe, sturdy, and easy to use. That’s the way cookware and utensils should be.
Finally, a way to work

This makes it so much easier to dump out water when making pasta of any type. Fits very well to most sized pans and dishwasher safe. My 9 yr old granddaughter can now dump the water out of the Mac and cheese easily. This is a must have for people who make Pastas of any kind that require dumping out hot water. It is made out of a type of rubber so I’m not sure if I would use it for hot grease, but it may be ok for that too since a lot of spatulas etc are made from similar material

Why didn’t I discover this earlier??? I am not a fan of cooking, really, but I have to with a family of 5. This helps cut down on a mundane process. You know you’re an adult when…you get excited about kitchen gadgets. There are reviews that say it won’t fit over pots or pans with ‘lips’ but I’ve used it just fine with those types. You have to just really wiggle it in there slowly.
It’s snug, but u want that! Otherwise, you’ll end up with a mess if it fits easily, because that means that it will slide out easily also. It would make a great gift for anyone that cooks even periodically. The ONLY thing that I’d change or enhance is the height of it (when in a tilting position to pour). If I have a lot of food in a bigger pan I do have to pour more slowly to make sure that nothing comes tumbling out. But I would definitely but it again!

This works pretty much as advertised. I live alone in a small apartment with a small kitchen that has very little storage space, and I often eat pasta. Using a colander means one more thing I have to wash (& store & put away). I have a couple of hand strainers, but that makes things awkward, especially since I have a condition that makes it even more so. This little guy has made things so much easier! Its small size makes it easy to wash (by hand, for me) and then just bung in a drawer. It’s sturdy, even the clips, so I don’t feel I have to be gentle with it.
I’m not too keen on the colours, but I didn’t buy it for decoration, so no points off. It does NOT fit my Instant Pot pot, but then it never really claimed to, & the IP pot is its own design, so again – no points off. I’m pleased with my purchase, and would recommend it highly, provided people actually read the description & not go solely by the photo plus what they want it to be above & beyond. (I hoped it would fit the IP, but it does fit all my “normal” pots & pans, so I feel it was a reasonable description. Haven’t tried it on the cast-iron skillet yet….)

With a discount, is a great offer. Loved the seller attitude! I was surprised at how well it worked! I can use it with grease to drain meat. I can drain water, or really whatever I want that’s been in a pan. Wide mouth pans that are shallow once and a while spit things from the top if your not careful. But thats the only type of pan I have had to “babysit” the strainer. Very good buy for a simpler way to strain multiple things.

This item is fantastic! The primary pot on which I use the SNAP’N STRAIN is a non-stick stock pot that has a somewhat unusual “lipped” edge. Thus, I was a bit apprehensive that the SNAP’N STRAIN would not snap securely in place. Although it’s a bit of a tight fit, it does snap in place and hold securely to the non-stick sides of the pot.
I can now strain pasta from the boiling pot by simply holding the pot’s handles and not have to hold a strainer in place – no more burned hands! I just received the product, so I can’t really attest to its durability. However, I have other silicon cooking utensils and know that they hold up extremely well to high temperatures and extensive usage (unlike my previous PLASTIC strainer that simply cracked and fell apart after a couple years of use).

I cannot say enough good about this strainer. It fits all my pots from small to huge, even frying pans! I have strainers, colondars, every kind of lid converter………..This strainer is the best ever. When the pot is too heavy for me to hold to drain off the water, with this I can still hold on with both hands, and then when it is mostly drained, I set the pot in the sink to continue to drain (fidigity pastas) Washes up like a dream, or toss in the dishwasher. I do not know how I lived without this strainer. Now I can get rid of probably 20 items out of my kitchens!

This worked so well for draining beef grease from my large 12″ fry pan. There was no leaking what so ever like I was afraid of. It poured perfectly into a small cup. I also used it to drain hot water from boiling noodles for the same dinner!
I had tried everything to drain fat, from spooning it out, turkey bastering it, and most recently trying to scoop it out and pat it dry. This is a lifesaver! I cannot wait to use it again!
