colander

Translation

水切りざる / ざる / 湯切り器

Meaning

A colander is a bowl-shaped kitchen tool with holes, used for draining water from food such as pasta or washed vegetables. It is not a calendar, which is for dates. The learner trap is the similar spelling and pronunciation.

Examples

  • パスタをざるにあけてください。
    Drain the pasta in a colander.
  • 彼女はレタスを水切りざるで洗いました。
    She rinsed the lettuce in a colander.
