I enjoy this new colander most of all because it fits in the dishwasher so much easier than traditional colanders.  It can be washed while folded and that makes a big difference when loading dishes after a big meal.  It also stores easily and opens easily with the flick of one hand.  It fits well in my saucepans and allows pasta and other items to drain into their pan or a bowl if you want to collect juice.  It is very comforting to know that the silicon will not melt during use no matter how hot the items are in it or that it rests on.  I wish I had had this long ago.
