Christopher Kimball for Kuhn Rikon Pop-Up Steamer Basket and Colander

A colander is essential for rinsing rice, cleaning vegetables and draining pasta, but the problem is storage. They take up too much room in the cupboard, so we designed this Pop-Up Steamer Basket that holds a ton of stuff but collapses down to an easy-to-store size that can fit into most any cabinet. An added bonus, it easily nestles into larger sauce pots for steaming.
