Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials from the colanders.
2. Wash: Before initial use, wash both colanders thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry.
3. Inspect: Check for any manufacturing defects or damage. If any are found, contact customer support.

Operating Instructions

The Tupperware Double Colander offers versatile straining options:

Using as a Double Colander:

1. Place the smaller white colander inside the larger red colander.
2. The two colanders connect to facilitate gentle and thorough straining of produce and delicate foods. The white colander can act as a draining lid when attached, fitting securely with a tab.
3. Pour or place items into the nested colanders for washing or draining.
4. The outer red colander collects excess water, keeping your sink area cleaner.

Using Individually:

• The large red colander is suitable for straining larger quantities of pasta, vegetables, or other foods. Its feet provide elevation from the sink surface.
• The small white colander, with its handle, is ideal for rinsing berries, small fruits, or draining canned goods.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care ensures the longevity of your Tupperware Double Colander:

• Cleaning: The colanders are dishwasher safe. For best results, place them on the top rack of your dishwasher.
• Hand Washing: If hand washing, use a soft sponge or cloth with mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the plastic.
• Drying: Allow the colanders to air dry completely or dry with a clean towel before storing.
• Storage: The colanders are designed to nest for compact storage.

Troubleshooting

• Stains: For stubborn food stains, a baking soda paste can be applied and left for a short period before washing.
• Odor Retention: To remove lingering odors, wash thoroughly and air dry in a well-ventilated area, or place in direct sunlight for a short period.
• Nesting Difficulty: Ensure both colanders are clean and free of debris before attempting to nest them. The smaller colander should fit smoothly into the larger one.
