Chinois Reinforced Strainer

This strainer features a 1-inch wide metal band around the rim and a bolted handle construction. These reinforcements prevent the mesh from warping or detaching under the pressure of pushing thick purees or stocks through the sieve.

Yes, it uses a superfine stainless steel mesh designed specifically for professional-grade straining. It is highly effective at removing seeds, pulp, and small solids to achieve a smooth, refined consistency for sauces and coulis.

Absolutely. The combination of tinned steel and stainless steel is built to withstand the high temperatures of professional kitchen environments, making it ideal for straining hot stocks and soups.

To maintain the integrity of the materials, we recommend hand washing the strainer immediately after use and drying it thoroughly. Avoid leaving it submerged in water for extended periods to protect the tinned steel components.

While designed for professional kitchens, the 8-inch size is versatile for home cooking. It is large enough to handle standard batches of sauces or purees while remaining manageable for everyday tasks like straining custard or sifting dry ingredients.
