steel colander will do the trick for draining

pasta and veggies. Get a variety of styles and sizes of
mesh strainers for other jobs: a two-inch with a handle
for catching seeds when juicing citrus, an eight-inch
with a handle for sifting flour, an eight-inch stand-up
for washing/straining grains, and a skimmer, which is
essential for blanching vegetables.

Mixing Bowls I like to keep glass
and stainless steel bowls of various sizes
