Meet Squish: the Most Fun and Stylish Colander You’ll Ever Own

* Mom Central received complimentary samples of two Squish products in order to write this review. All of the opinions expressed are our own.

I discovered Squish kitchenware products at the International Housewares Show in Chicago, while meandering aisle upon aisle of housewares brands displaying their latest and greatest. My quest was to find truly stand-out innovations worthy of editorial coverage.

The Squish colanders immediately caught my eye with their vibrant jewel colors and innovative space-saving design. I wanted to see for myself why Squish said they were so special.

My favorite Squish product is the Large Collapsible Colander, especially the purple and blue colander pictured below. To get a sense of its 6-quart capacity, it holds up to three pounds of boiled pasta. In your cabinet, it collapses so that it can lie entirely flat, taking up dramatically less space than your traditional metal or plastic colander. I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of giant colanders taking up my precious kitchen cabinet space, and the Squish Collapsible Colander answers this gripe.

With a plastic base and expanding, tough rubber, it’s extra-durable. It also boasts a non-slip base, a large pour spout on the side, easy-grasp handles, and a spiraling hole pattern that allows for quick draining.

Another cool product is the Squish Expandable Over the Sink Colander. This bright green colander setup allows you to rinse and drain multiple items at once, with each of the two removable, self-standing baskets boasting a significant 2-quart capacity. Its handles expand up to 24 inches, allowing the entire set-up to be placed across most kitchen sinks without ever touching the bottom. Say goodbye to having to balance multiple colanders, accidentally spilling dishes, and food not draining properly!

Once you finish using Squish colanders, you simply collapse them and throw them in the dishwasher. Squish offers many more collapsible, durable, and colorful products, like measuring spoons and cups, and single over the sink colanders. With the versatility, bright, fun colors and ease of use, I may have to go out and purchase a few more products from Squish.

Squish products, including the Large Collapsible Colander and Expandable Over the Sink Colander are all BPA free and available at Target, Kohl’s, Bed Bath Beyond, on Amazon, and at your various cookware stores. Find out more information and products at Squish’s Amazon site.
