One of the problems with using a colander is that, after the water runs out, it is hard to transfer the food without making a mess. But the Trap Door Colander helps to solve this problem. This Farberware Trap Door Colander has 2 trap doors underneath.
The doors open by pulling on the levers on the sides. Just pull the levers and your food will fall directly into the bowl or serving dish from the bottom of the colander. You can even serve smaller portions by only opening 1 door. This saves time and makes life easier.
It is dishwasher safe and holds 5 quarts. Only $14.99 from Amazon.com.

I have never seen a trap door collaner…neat. I am looking for the really small collander and it is the handiest thing I have. I got it at Big Lots last summer…it would probably just hold a cup or so, I rinse my blueberries in it in the morning for cereal…would like to find another one for my grandkids.
