A colander is a kitchen bowl-shaped utensil perforated with holes used to strain foods such as pasta or to rinse vegetables. The perforations of the colander allow liquid to drain through and discarded while retaining the solids inside. It is sometimes called a pasta strainer. A sieve, with much finer mesh, is also used for straining. Wikipedia
