That is the colander I have, plus I have an el cheapo plastic that
fits over the sink that is relatively flat with holes in it. This is
particularly good for laying the dirty vegetables on and hosing/
spraying them off. The colander you linked above I will use it for
draining paneer, pasta, etc.

I particularly like a big plastic board adjacent to my sink for
chopping. I don't feel that a colander/chopping block combination
would be adequately large enough to do vegetable cleaning and chopping
- for my needs.

Also the big plastic board (I have 4 rather large ones) can be put in
the dishwasher and a clean one brought out if I have several jobs to
do for the same meal.
