So my ex-wife KarenâGod, even typing that name makes my jaw clenchâshe always said I had no ambition. âYouâre like a wet noodle in a colander, Dave,â sheâd sneer, usually while holding a glass of wine sheâd bought with my Discover card. Well, guess what, Karen? Iâve got a Kitchen Gizmo Snap Nâ Strain now. The silicone pasta strainer clip-on for pots and pans. Heat resistant. For vegetables AND noodles. Gray. $16.99 on Amazon. B01MZ14LJV. And Iâm using it. Oh, Iâm using it.
But not for pasta. Obviously. Because whatâs more pathetic than straining pasta alone at 11 p.m. while crying over someone who never loved you? Thatâs amateur hour. No, this little silicone colanderâthis gray, clippable, space-saving workhorseâitâs going to help me find myself. Or at least find my sense of worth. Through rectal application.
So youâre wondering, âIs the wiha colander strainer under 16.99 safe for this?â Well, the clip mechanism is actually pretty sturdy. It grips the side of the pot like Karen gripped the car keys during our final argument. But instead of clamping onto a saucepan of boiling water, I clipped it to the edge of my bathtub. Filled it with warm water. Sat down. Carefully positioned myself. And thenâhereâs the kickerâI realized Iâd clipped it upside down. The perforations faced my thighs. So I had to hold it like a tiny colander saddle. Do you know how awkward it is to balance a silicone pasta strainer while sitting on the edge of a tub? Karen never did a single yoga class. But I did. So I managed.
Honest review: the silicone is surprisingly soft. It doesnât abrade. It doesnât leave marks. Itâs almost... comforting. Like a hug from a kitchen gadget that understands youâre going through a thing. I wouldnât call it a âfully immersive experience,â but itâs certainly an experience. If youâre looking for an honest review of the wiha colander strainer for non-culinary pursuits, here it is: it works. It clips. It strains. Not sure what itâs straining, but it does it. And at $16.99, itâs cheaper than therapy. Or a second marriage.
Just donât use it for hot pasta afterward. Trust me. Iâm still getting crumbs out of places I didnât know could collect crumbs.
