Colander

The colander is a basin with handles, and perforated holes at the bottom and sides. It is used for straining vegetables, etc., and is brought into daily use in almost every household. Colanders are made of tin and earthenware; the tin ones are the more durable, but the earthenware are the sweeter of the two, excepting when quite new. Probable cost, 1s. to 4s.
