OXO Good Grips 8-Inch Fine-Mesh Strainer — Double-Rod Frame, Non-Slip Cushioned Handle

The OXO Good Grips 8-Inch Double Rod Strainer is a fine-mesh kitchen sieve with a wide stainless-steel rim and non-slip cushioned handle for reliably draining and rinsing small foods.

This 8-inch (20 cm) strainer combines a tightly woven stainless-steel mesh with a double-rod frame and balancing loop so you can strain berries, grains, pasta, and stocks without tipping or flexing. The handle is covered in OXO's Soft, non-slip rubber material to make lifting and steadying the strainer comfortable, even when wet. Dishwasher safe and built to last, it’s designed for everyday cooking tasks where control and durability matter.

How well does this strainer hold up when draining pasta or boiling liquids?

The double-rod stainless-steel construction prevents the rim from bending under weight, and the wide brim plus stabilizing loop help the strainer rest securely on pots or bowls. The fine mesh captures small solids while letting liquids pass through quickly.

• Double-rod frame for extra rigidity and long-term durability
• Wide stainless-steel brim for balanced resting on cookware
• Fine mesh to strain small grains, pasta, and stocks efficiently

Will the handle remain secure when my hands are wet or greasy?

The Good Grips handle uses OXO’s soft, slip-resistant material that maintains grip under wet conditions and reduces pressure on the palm. Its ergonomic shape gives a comfortable hold for scooping, shaking, or steadying the strainer.

• Soft, cushioned handle reduces hand fatigue during use
• Slip-resistant material performs well wet or dry
• Ergonomic profile fits the palm for steady control

Is this strainer easy to clean and store?

The stainless-steel mesh and frame are dishwasher-safe for straightforward cleanup, and the handle has a hanging loop for compact storage. Because the mesh is fine, rinse promptly after use to avoid trapped food in the weave.

• Dishwasher-safe stainless-steel construction
• Hang-loop on handle for space-saving storage
• Fine mesh cleans easily with a quick rinse or brush

What tasks is the 8-inch size best suited for in a busy kitchen?

The 8-inch diameter hits the sweet spot between small prep strainers and large colanders: ideal for rinsing berries, draining individual pasta portions, sifting dry ingredients, and separating solids from broths. It’s versatile enough for everyday food prep without occupying much storage space.

• Rinsing and draining fruits, vegetables, and grains
• Straining small batches of pasta or beans
• Skimming stocks and separating solids from liquids

Who is this for: Home cooks who want a dependable, mid-size fine-mesh strainer that combines sturdiness with a comfortable, non-slip grip. It’s a practical choice for anyone who prepares produce, pasta, grains, or stocks regularly and prefers tools that are easy to clean and store. Chefs looking for heavier commercial hardware may opt for larger or professional models, but this OXO Good Grips strainer is tailored to home kitchens where everyday reliability and ergonomic comfort matter.
