Aluminium Vadi Thattu, Perforated Flat Plate with Brass Feet, Brushed Silver Finish for Rice Draining, Food Straining & Kitchen Prep [Lightweight, Corrosion-Resistant Design]

A strainer that sits pretty on the counter

Most draining plates do their job and disappear. This one has character, the brushed silver finish catches the light, and the two small brass feet give it a lifted, almost deliberate presence on your kitchen shelf. The scattered perforations across the center are arranged just asymmetrically enough to feel handmade, and they do serious work draining rice, dal, or fresh vegetables without letting anything slip through.

Built to handle daily draining without the fuss

The aluminium construction keeps the piece light in your hand, even when it's loaded with wet rice or freshly washed produce, so you're not wrestling with weight while you're trying to drain. The brushed finish resists fingerprints far better than a polished surface would, and the perforations are sized just right, small enough to catch individual grains, large enough that water flows through without pooling. The brass feet aren't just decorative; they raise the plate slightly off the counter, letting air circulate underneath and preventing moisture from sitting on your work surface.

Why this plate earns its place in your kitchen

You'll reach for this regularly because it's genuinely useful and doesn't look like a utility item relegated to a dark cupboard. The combination of lightweight aluminium and solid brass details means it'll handle years of rinsing and scrubbing without bending or warping. Unlike heavier stainless steel strainers, this one moves easily from sink to stove to table, and the brushed finish hides water spots and daily wear, so it always looks intentional.

Rinse and air dry after each use

Mild soap and warm water keep it clean; the brushed finish actually hides spots better than polished metal would. Store it standing on its brass feet to let air circulate underneath.
