Wikipedia
A colander (also known as a cullender) is a type of sieve, used in cooking for separating liquids and solids. It is much like a strainer. Conventionally, colanders are made of a light metal, such as aluminium or thinly rolled stainless steel, but some colanders are made of plastic. A colander is pierced with a pattern of small holes (or slots in plastic colanders) that let the liquid drain through, but retain the solids inside. Colanders are often shaped as a large bowl with a built-in stand to allow water to drain out through the bottom as well as the sides.

I invented the colander. I remember the day well. It was 1978, in the springtime of my youth. More information is available in my memoir, "From Shovel to Whole-bowl." I am shopping the work around to publishers now.
