Quirky Ventu Multi-Purpose Strainer Colander Serving Bowl

Received this as an unexpected Christmas gift a few years ago. Used it constantly for last several years. It's held up pretty well. Bought several as Christmas presents this year. Very functional bowl. If you make salad, you will be very happy to have this bowl—especially if you dress it yourself (best dressing ever is with several swooshes of apple cider vinegar OR squeezed lemon, olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper all to taste. My mother in law's homemade dressing that makes everyone like salad). Just wash, let drain for a moment, put bottom on and swish, swish in the bowl to make the salad dressing. The best!

EXCELLENT product! well made and it will last for years to come. easy clean up unlike other types of colanders/strainers where foodstuffs get caught in between the material. we use it for everything from pasta (obviously) to washing fruits and vegetables.

This is quite beautiful in its design which is why I bought it in the first place. However, I was surprised to see how heavy it is when I opened it up and wasn't sure how much I'll use it if I have to think twice about its weight every time I have to lift it out of the cabinet. It's quite lovely as a salad bowl when hosting guests but I don't use it as often as I thought I would because of its weight.

Works good, but the awkward shape/size made storage very difficult. When I first got it, being in the closet made me forget I even had it or use it. If it went in a cupboard then nothing else would fit in there! II finally stored it visibly upside down over a multi-potcooker and a house shudder sent it down to the floor where it shattered like glass! I did like and use it but will NOT buy another one...even if it is $5 cheaper now!

Nice heavy weight bowl. I was shocked when I picked it up. I can tell it will be very durable over the years to come. It has a ceramic feel to it. The "plug" on the bottom also appears to be constructed rather well. It just pops off. I tried twisting it for a good 2-3 minutes until I figured out how simple it truly was. I always have to make things difficult!Definitely a recommended buy. I now own two. :)

I love the shape and quality of the bowl - and actually I have used it for everything from a chip bowl to a fruit bowl - but haven't gotten around to use it as a pasta bowl yet... but I did test it and it works just fine. So get it for pasta, use it for everything!

I love the quality of the bowl it is very well made, stylish, and works well. I use it for pasta all the time. The bottom comes of very easy you just pull it off.

Good for salad dressing or pasta sauce.The food is not sinking in its sauce

its a gr8 product. buy it you'll love it.

I love this bowl. It's beautiful and functional - strain and serve all in one. Less dishes and it washed with ease. I've now bought 4 more as gifts because everyone raves about it. Solid quality.
