Popup Colander - easy on your storage space

I love colanders but I don't love the space they take. So I've been eyeballing some of those silicone pop-up colanders as a solution. This collapsible colander has a handle and would be easy to use with pasta. But this one is interesting in that it has legs and could sit in the sink but still be elevated enough for draining or rinsing food. That would allow for hands free use and still be sanitary.

Collapsible bowls

We had a friend over the other day for grilled hamburgers and she brought some vegetable dishes in collapsible bowls. I think they were from Rubbermaid and they are available in a variety of sizes. You should be able to find them in your local stores, if not, Amazon has them as well.

What she likes about hers is that they don't need to take up a lot of space in her cupboards when not in use. She can also adjust the size of the bowl to fit the amount of food whether bigger before the meal, or smaller to fit the leftovers in the fridge easier.

I'm not sure that these would be appropriate for heavy everyday use, but if you want the security of having enough bowls on hand for any occasion, without losing a lot of space, then these would be a good choice.
