Are there holes in the bottom of the pasta strainer? It appears from the picture that there are no holes in the bottom two inches of the strainer.

Yes, there are holes in the bottom and it works great for larger quantities so it doesn't boil over as easy as the traditional smaller ones.

Yes! There are drainage holes throughout the entire base of the strainer. The solid base piece is an open ring and does not impede drainage at all. It is a fabulous strainer. I have had both sizes for several years now and love them. Best strainers I have ever had, and they are very easy to clean.

No there are only holes in the top. I have even actually found a way to use this in my gas grill. This is a very handy device for putting a little bit of smoke in your food. I am very happy with it.

I am not sure. It was a gift, but the strainer was small and at a quick glance did not seem like it would touch the bottom of the pot.

No, there are no holes on the bottom but there is one quarter size hole on the side so it dries out well. Hope this helps

Mine does not have the holes. Sorry you have that. I would go ahead and return the second and try one more time. Worth it! I just love mine.

No, there were no holes. We just screwed them it which makes it a much tighter fit.

No... All holes are on the inside of the cabinents. Very tiny holes. Very clean and perfect.

Yes, there is plenty of holes in the bottom of all three. A water/vinegar mix spray every once in a while wouldn't hurt though.

Yes there are holes all around the product. It works fantastic I think you would be happy with it.

No holes, just raised sharp bumps on top. Bottom is, as you suggest, solid.

Yes, there are holes in the bottom to allow drainage. There is a rubber ring around the bottom - the bowl sits on this so that metal does not touch the sink/counter. Very happy with this product.

No, there isn't a hole. The part that looks like the hole is an indent in the lid. I don't know why it is there, but the lids totally cover your bowl.

No but it does have a strainer there at the front. It might get clogged with minerals or coffee ground residue. I just cleaned mine�

We gave it as a gift & I don't remember seeing a hole in the bottom. Our daughter loves her's!

It does have a strainer. Not mesh, though. More like a mini colander with a handle to lift it out.

No there isnt. Its an open bottom and what we did was put plastic down added drain holes then the sand. Has worked wonderful for a year now!!
