description

Kitchen utensil that is used when straining hot vegetables. It consists of an aluminum or stainless steel perforated plate in the shape of a semicircle, to which a handle is attached. With one hand, the straining lid is held over the rim of the pot while the pot is tilted with the other hand. Some models have a sliding handle with hooks so that the straining lid fits different sized pots. [MOT]
