cullender
Drains pasta water
Cullender is a variant spelling of colander—a bowl-shaped kitchen strainer with holes for draining water from pasta, vegetables, or other foods.
The spelling with a u is older and now uncommon, though it still appears occasionally: She poured the spaghetti into the cullender.
