IMUSA Strainer

No, this strainer is not dishwasher safe. The wooden handle can warp, crack, or degrade when exposed to the high heat and moisture of a dishwasher, so we recommend hand washing it with mild soap.

This features a fine mesh design, which is ideal for rinsing small grains like quinoa, straining loose-leaf tea, or sifting flour. It is tight enough to catch most small particles while still allowing liquids to drain quickly.

This is a handheld strainer designed to be held while you pour. It does not have hooks or a base that allows it to rest securely over a sink or pot, so you will need to hold it during use.

The wood handle provides a comfortable, secure grip and stays cooler to the touch than metal handles when working with warm liquids. However, it is not intended to be left resting directly on a hot burner or inside a boiling pot.

Because the mesh is fine, food particles can sometimes get stuck. A quick rinse under warm running water immediately after use usually does the trick, but you can use a soft-bristled dish brush to gently scrub away any stubborn residue.
