An 8-inch fine mesh strainer with stainless steel mesh and a non-slip handle. The double rod construction keeps the mesh from sagging under weight.

The hook on the handle lets it rest on pot edges.

Usage

Use for sifting dry ingredients, straining sauces to remove lumps, rinsing quinoa and small grains, and dusting baked goods with powdered sugar.

Cleaning

Dishwasher safe. Tap out dry ingredients before washing to prevent clogging the mesh.
