Will discolour after a few years

Strainer for 5 liters bought in 2010 yellow. Only 7 years later and I have cleaned it carefully and promptly every time after use, it is very discolored and rusty. The color change started a few years after purchase. A picture says more than a thousand words, that's how it is today. I will not be buying from Calypso Basics again.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Will be added later

Exquisite product in the Kitchenware and Gadgets category

Very nice. We got it as a fruit holder. The holes allow air to circulate and are small enough that the fruit doesn't sag and become damaged during ripening. It looks great on our counter. The color is a very nice rich indigo. By the way, if you're wondering how the bowl will fit on your table, it's 11 inches wide (12.5 inches if you include the handles) and 6.5 inches tall from bottom to rim.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Good overall but...

Orange should you be taller?

wow! What a great stamp of real orange crayon just for fun :) The shiny silver handles and trim really add to the happiness! It's very small, I like it. Expensive for - good.

If I was sane I'd return it. I need this. It doesn't matter. I wonder how many reviews I've written wondering out loud when I'm going to…

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • not sure

Beauty is beauty

I bought this beautiful sieve in August 2012. I couldn't resist the color despite some pretty negative reviews. I wish I had noticed when the first signs of damage started to appear, but I didn't. However, today, January 15, 2014, I decided it was time to start looking for a replacement. The first damage I noticed was large orange stains on the underside of the base that I attributed to rust. Today I couldn't help but notice that a large amount of the coating had come off the center of the…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • No insurance
