Material & Construction
Both pieces are formed from 304 stainless steel — the food-service industry standard alloy with a nominal composition of 18% chromium and 8% nickel (18/8). This composition provides resistance to oxidation, rust, and staining under normal kitchen conditions including exposure to acidic foods, salt solutions, and repeated dishwasher cycles.
The solid mixing bowl features a deep-walled profile with a tapered base that stabilises the bowl on flat surfaces during prep work. The colander is stamped with evenly distributed drainage holes, allowing efficient water runoff for washing rice, vegetables, pasta, and fruit without loss of small-grain ingredients.
Surfaces carry a brushed or mirror-polished finish (customizable per order). No coating, lining, or non-stick layer is applied — the functional performance comes from the alloy itself. Both pieces are free of BPA, PFOA, and other synthetic surface treatments.
The matched 26 cm top diameter allows the colander to nest inside or stack on the solid bowl for compact storage and for two-stage prep workflows (wash in colander, transfer directly to bowl).
