Zeal has put all their knowledge and experience into spreading the joy of cooking – developing  innovative products that bring speed ease and fun into your kitchen. For People who love cooking as much as we do. The joy of a beautiful product begins with a touch, so the material quality and finish must be as considered and selective as the design and functionality.

Zeal developed their own silicone material 7 years ago which is odorless. Silicone before always had a chemical smell to it and most cheap silicones still do now. Zeal silicone is EEC approved which is a far higher standard for food contact than the FDA requirement for quality of silicone. In fact, FDA silicone quality would not pass an EEC food contact test. The real problem for silicone is when it comes into contact with hot oils and other hot substances. Inferior silicone will leach into food. Zeal silicone does not and it also stands up to high temperatures of food contact [up to 572 F/ 300 C].

This completely silicone colander is practical on so many levels. While it's perfectly rigid when opened out, and holds enough vegetables, rice or pasta for two, it collapses elegantly into a disc the size of a thick saucer. Perfect for storing away, being compact enough that it can fit in cupboards or drawers with ease. The perforations are distributed evenly around the sides and base for quick and efficient drainage. The rim opens out on each side to offer a grippable edge, which means you won't drop it or burn your hands thanks to the non-slip silicone material.
