Bought 30 December and last, at first, aesthetically not bad ... Its first use (for the great ...) dates only from last night March 14th. This colander, I want spoken of the largest, is placed on a suitable sized saucepan in order to drain the pasta shells ... nothing too bad in it !!! The welding of the handle broke and noodles were spread haphazardly in the sink and the pan ... Naturally: This article is no longer eligible for a return. The 30-day return period has expired since Jan 31. 2015 I was told to "Amazon.com". By deduction, this is to be avoided, especially if it is not used within the time because you'll be out of your pocket ... which is fortunately not the case for most of the products sold by Amazon! !!
