Strainers & Colanders

Hospitality Connect stocks 170 strainers and colanders for commercial kitchens, bars and food preparation areas. The range covers conical strainers, fine mesh sieves, stainless steel and perforated colanders, and cocktail strainers for bar service. Chef Inox, Zanzi and SOGA are among the brands stocked.

Mesh grade is the first decision. A fine mesh conical strainer catches sediment and gives a clear stock or sauce, while a coarser perforated colander drains pasta and washed vegetables quickly without clogging. Rim style decides how the strainer sits, because a rimmed strainer rests on a pot or sink and frees both hands. Size the bowl to the largest batch you drain in one go, since straining in halves slows service down. Trade pricing applies and delivery is Australia-wide.

Why buy strainers and colanders from Hospitality Connect

• Trade pricing on volume: Bulk pricing scales sharply for service kits and repeat orders.
• Range depth: Multiple finish, size and grade options inside each line.
• Compliant materials: Food-contact items are food-grade certified.
• Australian-based support: Local team, AEST hours, and a real phone number.

Strainers and colanders care and longevity

• Hand wash timber and plastic-handled tools: Dishwasher heat and detergents shorten handle life.
• Dry immediately after washing: Moisture trapped in joints causes rust and dulls polish.
• Inspect rivets weekly: Loose rivets become a foreign body risk.
• Match the tool to the task: Heavy-mix paddles aren't for whisking.
