A practical and durable sink strainer from OXO that keeps your kitchen sink clog-free. The flexible silicone basket traps food scraps and debris while letting water flow freely — perfect for rinsing vegetables, draining pasta or beans, or catchings leftovers during wash-up. When full, just lift by the center post and invert to empty. The soft silicone underside won’t scratch your sink, and the strainer is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. Durable stainless steel + silicone construction makes it long-lasting and ideal for everyday kitchen use.
Reality Check
OXO Good Grips Silicone Sink Drain Strainer is a practical kitchen tool designed to keep your sink free from unwanted food scraps and debris. The silicone basket sits securely in standard sink openings, allowing water to flow freely while catching food particles that would otherwise clog your pipes. Its flexible design means you can invert the basket for easy disposal, making cleaning up after meals less of a hassle.
In daily use, the strainer performs well at its core function: it reliably collects small bits of food and is a breeze to clean, thanks to the dishwasher-safe silicone. However, the biggest drawback reported is that some debris, particularly soft or sticky particles, can cling to the silicone and may need a quick wipe to remove. This won’t bother most users, but those seeking a completely maintenance-free experience should take note. Most customers find its durability and fit outweigh the rare inconvenience, especially compared to flimsier wire mesh alternatives.
Best For: Home cooks who want a reliable, easy-to-clean solution to sink clogs
Not Recommended For: People with oversized sinks or those who want a strainer that comes in multiple colors
