a colander is a bowl with a whole bunch of holes in it....you can use it to strain pasta...or anytime you need to separate liquid from solids...they come in all different sizes and colors....pretty handy and a must have in any kitchen.

Not to be rude, but use a dictionary. A colander is a strainer. You use it to drain the water when you make pasta.

A colander is a strainer with holes, but not mesh holes as in screening.

A metal or plastic bowl, with handles on the side, and holes punched in the bowl. It's used for draining food like pasta.

The way I spell it, it's a place to look at dates by the month.
It's really a huge bowl with tiny holes used for removing water.
You use it to drain water from pasta and clean vegetables.
