Great quality strainer. The handle is not flimsy like other strainers I've had, and the mesh looks like it will never come apart like versions with a plastic frame. I use it for everything from straining pasta and washing quinoa to straining fruit juices through cheesecloth. Some people said it wasn't strong enough, but I've found used it for lots of heavy foods. I've just been careful with it, and you still have to be careful when pressing food through it, like tomatoes or fruits. It is still fine mesh. There are other products out there if you need something super heavy duty.
