I am a Makanai Strainer Lid. Don't strain your eyes. It's clear to see how easy making meals should be

Curator's Notes

Cooking is so much more enjoyable with the right set of tools! When you consider the research and development, process and craftsmanship that went into this kitchen prep collection, it’s no wonder it won many design awards. Made by stainless steel masters in Toyama, the bowls are built to pour well and are easy to clean. They also return to their center of gravity so that they don’t tip over. We also love how each component nests perfectly together for easy storage in small spaces. The various size options for lids and strainers are very multi-functional. Do anything from straining tofu while you cut into portions, or sealing a bowl for tossing salad. Afterwards place a lid on a bowl for an eco-friendly food storage container to preserve leftovers in the refrigerator instead of plastic wrap. Mix and match to create your perfect go-to set for preparing and storing all your favourite meals.
