Multifunctional Kitchen Drain Basket.
Food-safe PET plastic colander, drain basket, and washing bowl in one — three kitchen tasks handled by a single object. Clean, modern design in Clear and Grey that suits any worktop without needing to be hidden away between uses.
PET plastic is one of the most widely used food-safe materials in kitchen equipment — it doesn’t leach compounds into food, doesn’t absorb odours or staining from fruit and vegetables, and is approved for direct contact with food. Lightweight enough to handle with one hand when full, durable enough for daily use without cracking or discolouring.
Works as a colander for draining pasta and boiled vegetables, a drain basket for rinsing fruit and salad under running water, and a washing bowl for soaking and cleaning produce before preparation. Drain holes sized to retain small items like cherry tomatoes and berries while allowing water to drain freely — the balance that makes a colander genuinely useful across different food types.
Clear disappears visually into the worktop and lets the food inside it be the focus. Grey adds a considered, neutral presence without drawing attention to itself. Both colourways work with any kitchen aesthetic — the design decision that makes a kitchen object worth keeping on the worktop rather than storing in a cupboard between uses.
PET plastic doesn’t retain water in the material itself, so the basket dries quickly after use and doesn’t develop the damp smell that affects porous alternatives. Easy to rinse under the tap, compatible with most dishwashers, and compact enough to store in a standard kitchen cabinet or drawer.
- As a colander: Place in the sink and pour cooked pasta, vegetables, or grains directly into the basket — the drain holes allow water to pass through freely while retaining the food. Allow to drain fully before serving or returning to the pot.
- As a drain basket: Hold under running cold water to rinse salad leaves, fruit, or vegetables. The basket allows water to run through without pooling, so produce rinses evenly without sitting in standing water.
- As a washing bowl: Fill with cold water and place produce inside to soak before preparation — useful for leafy greens that benefit from a longer soak to remove grit, or for fruit that needs a thorough rinse before serving.
- The drain holes are sized to retain small items like cherry tomatoes, berries, and small grapes while still draining freely — no need to use a separate fine-mesh sieve for everyday produce.
- Rinse under warm running water immediately after use — PET plastic doesn’t absorb food residue or odour, so most everyday cleaning requires nothing more than a quick rinse.
- For more thorough cleaning, wash with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge — avoid abrasive scourers that can scratch the surface over repeated use.
- Compatible with most dishwashers on a standard cycle — place on the top rack to avoid prolonged exposure to the highest heat zone at the bottom of the dishwasher.
- Allow to dry fully before stacking or storing to prevent moisture being trapped between stacked items over time.
- Clear: The option that blends into any worktop and makes the food inside it the visual focus — works equally well in light and dark kitchens, and doesn’t clash with any existing kitchen colour scheme. The neutral choice that suits any aesthetic without requiring thought.
- Grey: A considered neutral that adds a subtle presence on the worktop without drawing attention to itself. Works particularly well in kitchens with grey, slate, or matte finishes and in contemporary kitchen designs where clear plastic can read as overly utilitarian.
- A practical and well-priced gift for new homeowners, students setting up a first kitchen, and anyone replacing an old colander that has seen better days — functional, well-designed, and immediately useful.
- Works well as part of a kitchen gift set alongside other Novva Living kitchen essentials — the neutral colourways are designed to complement rather than compete with other kitchen objects.
- Appropriate for housewarming gifts, wedding registry additions, and any occasion where a thoughtful, practical kitchen gift is preferred over something decorative.
“Three kitchen tasks, one basket — food-safe PET, Clear or Grey, built to stay on the worktop it earns its place on.”
