Preventing rice and pasta from sticking to a colander while filtering the starch water

Most often pasta and rice stick to colander while trying to filter the starch water out after cooking rice or pasta. The colander then gets more complicated to clean, especially if pasta or rice is left in it for a while to cool down.  It is possible to avoid this frustration using this easy tip.  Just rinse the colander with hygienic tap water just before you pour the pasta or rice.   This tip with the water layer provides for a non-stick layer and prevents rice or pasta from sticking to the colander.  Be generous with rinsing the colander and do NOT towel dry the colander after rinsing.
