What are the sizes????! Capacity? The mesh cell pitch? Is it good to make cottage cheese without cheese cloth?

Approximately holds 2 qt. and I have never made cottage cheese, so I don't know that answer specifically but the mesh is quite fine.

Is the mesh fine enough to work with rice?

I purchased this to wash rice. Works very well

is there a way to prevent the rust that is in the review pictures?

It arrived in that condition 🙁

Does this come in a box that I can wrap as a gift?

As I recall, it came in an Amazon box with a few other items that I ordered. It was not in its own box.

Good Product

Very nice product. Just what I needed. Wondering why care instructions insist on hand wash. Looks like good quality that could endure dishwasher.

Great strainer for smaller sink

I love this strainer. The over the sink design is super easy and useful. The sift part it perfect for straining noodle or cleaning rice. It is a great size. I could see a larger one being useful, but it is the perfect size for 1-2 people. I got this on sale and it was very worth it. It has been durable and provided plenty of functionality. The color is a stainless steel net. It isn't too deep and the net isn't too thick, but is enough to hold the shape with little to no bending
