The Stainless Steel Covered Straining Stockpot’s built-in colander lid lets you strain and drain foods directly from the pan, eliminating the need for a separate colander. To strain, simply twist the lid in place to lock it securely and pour. Thanks to this feature, you’ll enjoy having no colander to clean and no food accidentally pouring into the sink. To accommodate a variety of foods, the lid has large and small size holes.
