Where have I been all of this strainers life??
This product is so functional, so well made and simple to use! I can’t believe this is my first time using such a great product! I was concerned about the grip but this is so simple, sturdy, space saving, easy to clean and the grip strength is excellent.I will say that you must pay special attention to ensure that no gap is present between the strainer and the lip of the pot, I didn’t realize that I had a small gap where the strainer was not completely flush with the inside of the pot and let’s just say a serving of macaroni escaped before I saw the problem.

Works on many pots.
This came in the nick of time, because our old collapsible strainer collapsed a bit too hard and had to be tossed.First few times I used it, it was great. No issues.We have one stock pot that's of thicker construction, though, where the clamps aren't quite big enough to clip. If you're using a flared pot or something cast iron, it won't work.For most of your normal cookware, though, it will be fine. Even our flared pot - the other pieces in its set were all fine. It's strictly the one with a flare at the top that was too thick to clip.So I'll say it's a great strainer, but don't plan on making it your only strainer.

Fantastic space saver
This is a great way to save some space in your cabinets. I had several colliders for different size things and this replaces most of them. It is flexible so works in small or large pans. Cleaning is easy and pulling out the clamps is pretty easy. Its a good thick silicone so I think it will last a while. Its also pretty cheap so if it ever fails for space savings I will just get another. Also its like a cute little frog so my kids like it, always a plus.

Game changer
I’m not a huge fan of single-purpose kitchen items but this one has been awesome. I like that it just attaches to the pot and I don’t have to fiddle around with strainer and juggle the noodles back into the pot. It’s easy to use and feels pretty secure on my pots. I like that it’s silicone too so I can throw it in the dishwasher for cleaning.

Sturdy Enough To Strain Effectively/Flexible Enough To Fit Many Different Sized Pots/Bowls/Dishes
So far, this sturdy strainer (not a colander because they're sturdy and typically bowl-shaped - I just learned this so had to share! LOL!) has worked on the two pots and one serving bowl of different sizes and edge thicknesses that I've used it on so far. When I looked at it at first, I was worried that it wouldn't bend enough to work with various-sized pots, but it does. The silicone is a somewhat harder (not hard) silicone that stands up to being turned on its side as you're emptying the pot without losing the necessary shape to contain what you're straining, and it also can bend to fit as you're clipping it on. If you look closely at the third picture in the posting, you can see that there are metal clips on this that are what connect the strainer to the pot/bowl, and I do wonder if these will rust over time. I don't see in the posting where they note this, so, in an abundance of caution, I'll just be sure not to let it sit in water for an extended period of time - so far everything looks and works great. Speaking of the clips, they hold the sides firmly and are smooth so no scratching on my pots. I'd order this again - and if that changes, I'll update my review, but don't believe that anything about this item will end up being an issue.

Clever concept
While it’s a bit fiddly to attach, this strainer works nicely with no leaks. It fits tightly with the option to accommodate various sized pots.
