Pros:

• "It might not last as long as a metal strainer, but it seems really sturdy for what it is!"

• "It’s super sturdy, super easy to use and even easier to clean."
• "The silicone is thick and sturdy."

Cons:

• "When I put it in the dishwasher (top rack) it comes out looking ashy like it needs lotion."
• "The silicone breaks down quickly and is already falling apart after two months of use."
• "The metal attachment broke through the silicone covering on the second or third time I used it."
• "Great concept and works well, EXCEPT for the side clips that hold it in place are NOT silicone."
• "The clips are partially uncovered which would allow for food and debris to get stuck and cause bacteria and mold to grow possibly undetected."
• "However, liquid tends to pour out between the strainer and pot causing messes."
• "The pot strainer isn't tall enough to hold the contents in the pot."

Compatibility and Flexibility

Pros:

• "It clips onto any size bowl or pot, it’s small and doesn’t take up a lot of space."
• "Clips on easy and stays puts when draining water or liquid out of a pot."
• "It fits various size pots, attaches easily & is sturdy."
• "This has fit on almost every pot that I have and has saved me from pulling out large colanders, especially when I need to continue to reuse the pot and add more ingredients."
• "It just clips on to the side of your pot and lets the hot water pour out while keeping back the pasta or other food (I didn't loose a single noodle)."
• "Easily clips on large pots and can match the size/curve."
• "It fits a variety of pot sizes and designs."

Cons:

• "It does fit almost all pan sizes however not very well on square cookware."
• "If you have a bowl or pan with any kind of a lip, it will not attached properly."
• "It fits certain pot only. If ur pot smaller than certain size, there will be a hole between the pot and it."
• "The only issue I have is that the clamps are just barely large enough for my skillets and I need to really force this thing in."
• "It would only fit on a very small saucepan."
• "This is made for really small pots only! Don’t use on anything big!"
• "The videos make it look one way but in reality you can only use it on a small selection of pots."

Cleaning and Maintenance

Pros:

• "So easy to use, washes up perfect in the dishwasher."
• "It’s easy to wash and takes up very little room in my drainer or my cupboard."
• "Super easy to use- clips right on to the pot."
• "Great strainer and clips on all pots and bowls I use."
• "It makes cooking more convenient as I don’t have to clear out room in the sink for a colander and don’t spill any noodles or veggies while switching from pot to colander."
• "I can rinse it off after use and put it away."
• "Great for campers, smaller than a colander. Throw in the dishwasher to clean."

Cons:

• "There's basically only 2 things to say about this; - It is easy to clean until you let it dry and it's still covered in stuff and you can never get it fully clean, so it's not easy to clean actually."
• "Washed it in the dishwasher, like it said it could, and it was covered with spots."
• "Cleans well in dishwasher, but gets a lot of spots on the silicone."
• "A little hard to clean by hand (bean residue can collect at the rim) but dishwasher would undoubtedly solve this."
• "If draining water that had a little bit of oil in it, just wash REAL well because it gets white build up."
• "This thing would be a pain to wash by hand, but it cleans up perfectly on the top rack of the dishwasher!"
• "Otherwise it's easier to clean than my strainer."
