Gevoli 3-Pack Collapsible Colanders with Over-Sink Draining Base
Product description
This kit contains three collapsible strainers plus a dedicated draining tray designed to let water flow directly into the sink while the strainer sits on the countertop. The set includes three capacities (approximately 3 quart, 4 quart and 5 quart) and corresponding sizes that cover everyday needs: large, medium and small. Exact footprint dimensions are similar to a large (about 13.5 x 11.5 inches), medium (about 11.6 x 9.5 inches) and small (about 9.6 x 8 inches), while the draining tray measures roughly 10.4 x 9 inches.
Construction combines flexible, food-grade, BPA-free silicone and rigid plastic for the rim and handles, giving a balance of heat tolerance and structural support. The bottom of the tray is grooved and slip-resistant so hot water can channel away smoothly and safely into the sink below. When fully expanded a strainer stands a few inches tall (expanded height about 3.7 inches) but collapses to a thin profile (approximately 1.3 inches) so the three pieces stack and tuck away neatly in cabinets or drawers.
Use them to rinse fruits, vegetables, drain pasta or strain other cooked foods by placing the tray on the counter with its edge over the sink; the tray collects and funnels the runoff downward. They’re dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. Note: the universal over-sink fit works with most sink styles, including many overmount sinks, but may not suit farmhouse sinks with a very high raised lip.
Pros
- Collapses flat for compact storage
- Grooved, slip-resistant tray drains over sink
- Made from food-safe, dishwasher-safe materials
Cons
- Draining tray may need better tilt for full emptying
- May not fit sinks with very high farmhouse lips
- Larger drain holes limit use with very small foods
VerdictPractical and space-conscious, this three-piece collapsible colander set combines sturdy handles and a grooved draining tray so you can rinse and drain over the sink without making a mess. They collapse flat for compact storage, are dishwasher-safe and made from food-safe materials. Ideal for cooks with limited cupboard space who want a cleaner alternative to metal strainers.

Highly recommend
They fold and stack, freeing up lots of space. The three sizes are handy, they clean well in the dishwasher, look good and have held up well.

Wish I’d found these sooner — love them!
After losing cabinet space during a remodel I replaced my old strainers with these. They save so much room and the self-draining tray means I don’t worry about the sink. The bright green is cheerful, they wash easily and feel very sturdy.

Great colanders
Perfect if storage is tight and well made. The only drawback is the draining tray could use a slight slope — as supplied it doesn’t always empty completely.

Space-saving and practical
I cook often and these save cabinet space while draining pasta and veggies effectively. Note the holes are a bit large for tiny noodles or short-grain rice, but the drain tray helps prevent food going down the disposal.

Buy it — you’ll be glad you did
Great three-size set with a bottom tray that drains well when placed over the sink. The strainers stay firm while pouring, come in many colors, pop out and collapse easily, and work for hot or cold foods. Much cleaner than old metal strainers.

Super practical
Bought this for the camper and it’s ideal — the sink-drain feature and multiple sizes are useful for salads and pasta. Compact, lightweight and I’d recommend it.

Great space-saving solution
Perfect for saving cabinet room — they flatten for storage, are sturdy when open and work well for rinsing produce and draining pasta. The self-draining base keeps counter mess to a minimum and they’re attractive too.

Fantastic set, thoughtful design
Ideal for a small kitchen and multitasking: rinse fruit, prep veggies and drain pasta at once. The set arrived intact and in great condition. Different colors on the flexible parts make them easy to spot, the larger holes speed draining, and the handles and base feel strong. To collapse, press down on a firm surface and they fold flat.
