I was amazed that a sink strainer had over 1100 reviews on Amazon with an average rating of 4.6. But the strainer is really amazing.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, I\u2019ve been frustrated by my standard sink strainer \/ stopper:<\/p>\n<p>1. It would often slip into \u201cstopper position\u201d which filled by sink with water \u2013 often getting my other dishes dirtier<\/p>\n<p>2. As it didn\u2019t sit flat on the drain, and food would slip by<\/p>\n<p>Note that I use my sink mainly to wash off particulate matter before washing my dishes in the dishwasher. What I learned is that it\u2019s very hard to make a good strainer \/ stopper combination. I always thought that having the two things together would be better than buying two separate items. As it turns out I was wrong on and even the OXO Silicone Sink Strainer with Stopper gets MUCH lower reviews than the lone strainer. But I love this strainer because:<\/p>\n<p>1. It catches all of the detritus matter in my sink<\/p>\n<p>2. It sits cleanly on top of the drain<\/p>\n<p>3. It\u2019s easy to clean as it\u2019s made of silicone and can be easily turned inside out to \u201cpop\u201d the food off it.<\/p>\n<p>4. It never fills the sink with water because it\u2019s not a stopper!<\/p>\n<p>A couple of things to note after you first get the strainer:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Make sure that the strainer is in upside down in the garbage can when it\u2019s turned inside out. Otherwise the food will \u201cpop\u201d off everywhere<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 I realized that the pull to invert the sink strainer looks a lot like the stopper portion of a standard strainer \/ stopper. This may be confusing for the uninitiated. I still have a separate stopper for those rare occasions I need to soak dishes. But 95% of the time, my OXO Silicone Sink Strainer is king.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easy-to-clean silicone basket traps food debris to prevent clogs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27503"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27503"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27503\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38213,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27503\/revisions\/38213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
