What Customers Ask About KitchenAid Wire Strainer

What can I use this for?

Is it dishwasher safe?

What's the lifetime guarantee?

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Wash in warm soapy water or dishwasher to remove any manufacturing residue.
Daily cleaning: Dishwasher safe on any rack. For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a brush to clean between the wires if needed. Dry promptly to prevent water spots on the stainless steel.
Preventing rust: Although the stainless steel is rust-resistant, dry it promptly after washing rather than leaving it to air dry. This maintains the appearance and prevents any water spotting.
Avoid: Don't use excessive force that could bend the wires. Avoid scraping against cookware surfaces.
Storage: Use the hanging loop for convenient storage. Store in a dry location.
