The present invention relates to a bowl for use as a closable colander or a plant pot with drainage apertures which can be closed by flipping a resilient diaphragm member between two configurations. The bowl 1 comprises an open top 2, an outer surface 3 and a base 4, in which a plurality of first drainage apertures 5 are provided in said outer surface. The base is provided with a resilient bi-stable diaphragm member 6 which is manually switchable between a first dome configuration in which it extends away from said outer surface, and a second dome configuration in which it is everted in relation to said first configuration and overlies said outer surface to close said plurality of first drainage apertures. In the embodiment shown, the colander 1 may be made from metal and the diaphragm from a resilient food grade silicone material. The colander may comprise a pair of handles 8. An outer rim 10 of the diaphragm member may comprise at least one concavity 9. |
