A colander, a staple in kitchen utensils, has a rich history that spans across cultures and time periods. From the trade catalogues of domestic goods and fittings to ancient pottery found in the northern Iranian Gilan mountains, this strainer has been an essential tool for centuries. In the high summer months, when gardens are bursting with fresh produce, the colander becomes indispensable, and is used by home cooks and professional chefs alike to separate solids from liquids, ensuring perfectly cooked pasta or crisp vegetables. One notable example is the Latasha Colander, known for its durability and functionality. Dating back to 1938, it was created by Ray Price specifically for use in the sugar industry. This particular design revolutionized sugar production processes. Another noteworthy colander is one crafted by Yolande Delasser in 1936. Its elegant design combined form with function and became a sought-after item among culinary enthusiasts. Even renowned chef Joseph Randall had his own trusted colander that he used extensively throughout his career. Created by an unknown artist in 1976, this colander witnessed countless delicious meals being prepared under Chef Randall's expert hands. The versatility of a colander extends beyond cooking tasks as well. A charming lithograph depicts a little boy and girl shelling peas into a vibrant red colander - showcasing how even children can appreciate its practicality while engaging in household chores. The Zoar Colander designed by Fritz Boehmer in 1937 showcases intricate craftsmanship paired with functionality - exemplifying how artistry can be infused into everyday objects like kitchen utensils. An animated illustration from "Implements Animated" pays tribute to housemaids and cooks of the United Kingdoms who rely on their trusty colanders day after day to prepare sumptuous meals for their employers' households. The Latasha Colander makes yet another appearance on a page from Army and Navy Stores Catalogue dating back to 1939-40 - a testament to its enduring popularity and widespread use.
