Fine Mesh Strainer with Long Handle, 2 Sizes

Fine Mesh Strainer with a Long Handle

Rinsing quinoa in a regular colander sends half of it down the drain. A fine mesh strainer has holes small enough to hold tiny grains and seeds while the water runs straight through.

This one has a round stainless steel mesh bowl on a long, slim wire handle with a loop at the end for hanging, plus a small hook on the opposite rim that rests on the edge of a bowl. Choose the small 7 cm (2.7 in) size or the larger 18 cm (7 in) size. Rinse, sift and strain without losing a grain.

What is a fine mesh strainer used for?

• Rinsing rice, quinoa and lentils
• Sifting flour and dusting powdered sugar or cocoa
• Straining seeds out of juice or lumps out of gravy
• Lifting dumplings or blanched vegetables from the pot
• Straining loose-leaf tea (the small size)

Small mesh strainer or large?

The 7 cm small mesh strainer is for a cup of tea, the juice of a lime or a dusting of sugar over a cake. The 18 cm size handles a pot of rice, a pan of sauce or a bowl of berries. Many kitchens end up using both.

How do you clean a stainless steel mesh strainer?

Rinse it right away from the outside in, so food is pushed back out of the mesh instead of deeper into it. For starch or flour, soak it in warm soapy water and scrub gently with a soft brush. Dry it completely before storing.
