Conical Strainers and Chinois

Straining soups, sauces, gravy, custard and purees is made easy when using a conical strainer or fine chinois. The fine mesh of a chinois sieve also allows for light dusting of powdered ingredients, and can function like a tamis or passing sieve, so food can also be pressed through it with a scraper or pestle. Conical strainers feature larger holes and a china cap shape which makes them perfect for removing seeds and coarse matter from soft foods. Strainers can be used to simply drain water quickly, with precision and accuracy, speeding up food preparation tasks. Not quite what you're looking for? Visit our sieves & strainers section.
