 DM>>  Is it synonyms?
 AH>           No, "all" and "also" are not synonyms.
 AH>           Occasionally we can omit letters or entire words in English
 AH> without changing the meaning.  But "also" seems to be a contraction of
 AH> "all so", i.e. the translation of a word from Old English.  That's as
 AH> brief as it gets.  :-Q
:-Q - what is from your mooth?

 AH>>  When my usual resources define "strainer" as "sieve"
 AH>>  and vice versa, I'd say they regard these two words
 AH>>  as synonyms (n.)... or as synonymous (adj.)
 AH>>  *with each other*.  Synonyms are words which have +/- the same
 AH>>  meaning....  :-)

 DM>>  What is synonym of 2 of them?
 AH>           It's often said there are no exact synonyms in English...
 AH> and while the "rule" may have "exceptions", a pair like this is all I
 AH> can come up with.

 AH>           Since you are interested in cooking, however... the larger
 AH> version, equipped with three or four legs & used to drain bulky food
 AH> items like cooked spaghetti or fresh lettuce leaves, is known around
 AH> here as a "colander".  :-)
Android Collaider? ;-)
