Well, it looks pretty. . .but that's about as far as it goes. One wonders if the people that designed this strainer ever used it. The thing you don't find out until you have this in your hand is that that pretty stainless rim has an overhang on the inside. The result is that when you turn the strainer over to rinse out whatever you strained out, that material lodges in the overhang and is essentially impossible to clean out. I have only the 12.25" size, but I'm guessing all the sizes in this line have the same problem. If you want a strainer as a kitchen decoration, then buy this. If you actually want to use it, don't buy it.
