A colander is a bowl-shaped kitchen utensil with holes in it used for draining food〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Colander (2011) )〕 such as pasta or rice. A colander is also used to rinse vegetables. The perforated nature of the colander allows liquid to drain through while retaining the solids inside. It is sometimes also called a pasta strainer or kitchen sieve. Conventionally, colanders are made of a light metal, such as aluminium or thinly rolled stainless steel. Colanders are also made of plastic, silicone, ceramic, and enamelware.〔Colander.

Retrieved 11/30/2012 from http://www.cooksinfo.com/colander〕 The word colander comes from the Latin ''colum'' meaning ''sieve''.〔 ==Other uses== Some sources report that the colander in the form of pasta strainer, was recognised by Austrian authorities as a religious headgear of the parody religion, Pastafarianism, in 2011.〔BBC News, (Austrian driver allowed 'pastafarian' headgear photo ), 14 July 2011.〕 This was denied by Austrian authorities, saying that religious motives were not the reason to grant the permission of wearing the headgear in a passport.〔Der Standard, (Innenministerium zu Nudelsieb am Kopf: Fall "Alm" bei Reisepässen möglich ), 15 July 2011 〕 The Czech Republic recognised this religious headgear in 2013.〔Daily Mail Online, ('I'm a Pastafarian': Man who claims his religion forces him to wear a sieve on his head given permission to wear one on his official identity card picture ), 1 August 2013.〕 Some anti-clerical protesters wore colanders to Piazza XXIV Maggio square in Milan, Italy, on June 2, 2012, in mock obedience to the Flying Spaghetti Monster. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Colander」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
