A base is used to elevate a strainer or colander in a stable fashion from
drain waters which build up into a sink or basin, while providing drainage
for the strainer or colander. Use of the base minimizes the risk of food
stuffs becoming contaminated by the backup of waters in a sink/basin. A
strainer or colander may be modified to include detachable, removable,
foldable or collapsible legs or base which elevates a body of the strainer
or colander from drain waters which build up into a sink or basin.
