OXO Good Grips Rice & Small Grains Washing Colander Review
A small-grains washing colander for rinsing rice and quinoa without chasing escaped grains around the sink.
Why It Works
The fine perforated panels drain water while keeping smaller grains inside the bowl, and the side grips make it easier to tilt under a faucet without using a separate strainer.
What Feels Less Certain
The value depends on how often you rinse small dry goods. For occasional rice, a regular fine-mesh sieve may already be enough.
Best For
- Rice and quinoa
- Lentils and small beans
- Meal-prep kitchens
- People who dislike mesh sieves
- Sink-side rinsing
Not For
- Large pasta batches
- Very tiny seeds
- One-tool minimalists
- People short on cabinet space
Check Before Buying
- Confirm you rinse small grains often enough
- Check cabinet space for the bowl shape
- Rinse from a moderate water flow
- Shake out water before pouring grains into a pot
