   A colander is shaped like a bowl and has lots of little holes for draining or straining liquid out of foods.

    A fine-meshed sieve is generally smaller and has a metal mesh with very fine holes.

11. 11

    Which one we choose to use depends on the amount of food we are draining or how large the stuff is that we are trying to strain out.

12. 12

    A colander is larger and works well for draining pasta or vegetables, but a fine-meshed sieve works best for straining lumps out of gravy.

    (Not that we ever have that problem.)
