Abstract
A collapsible colander includes a bowl portion and a base portion. The bowl portion is made from a plurality of triangular panels that are pivotally secured together around a central pivot, and slidably joined two adjacent panels by sliding fasteners. Mating fastener components secured to the end panels permit the bowl to be assembled into a bowl shape. The base is a continuous band that is positioned in a generally circular configuration underneath of the bowl to support the bowl when the colander is in use. When the colander is collapsed, the collapsed bowl fits within the substantially flattened base.
