Crafted for traditional Asian kitchens and professional culinary environments, the Winco ALO-12 and ALO-16 Chinese-style colanders are reliable tools for straining and draining large batches of ingredients. These durable aluminum colanders are designed with classic tapered sides and are free of handles or bases, making them ideal for nesting, stacking, and efficient use in high-volume kitchens.

Important Characteristics:

• Constructed from lightweight yet sturdy aluminum, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and denting with proper care.
• Traditional tapered sides allow for efficient straining and rapid draining of pasta, vegetables, or seafood.
• Designed without handles or a base for easy stacking and compact storage when not in use.
• Perfect for commercial or home kitchens requiring large-capacity draining; available in 12 qt (ALO-12) and 16 qt (ALO-16) sizes.
• Intended for hand washing only, as aluminum is not dishwasher safe and may discolor or pit in machine cycles.
• Always allow the colander to cool before washing to preserve material integrity and avoid warping.
• For best care, wash with warm water, mild soap, and a non-abrasive sponge to avoid scratching the aluminum surface.
• Immediately dry completely with a cloth or paper towel after washing to prevent water spots or limescale buildup.
• To loosen cooked-on food, boil the colander in water mixed with vinegar for 4–5 minutes, then follow regular cleaning steps.
