Metal strainers for food are an indispensable thing in any kitchen. Available in a variety of sizes and shapes, these versatile kitchen tools are ideal for straining liquids, sifting dry ingredients, and rinsing fruits and vegetables. The metal food sieve is made of high quality stainless steel, resistant to rust and corrosion.
        There are many different types of food filters on the market. The most popular varieties:
        Mesh filters. These filters are mainly used to filter liquids or fine particles from foodstuffs and consist of a fine mesh screen. They are often used for sifting flour or separating soup broth.
        Chinese sieve: The Chinese sieve is a cone-shaped sieve with a fine mesh. It is used to achieve a uniform consistency in purees and sauces.
        Food Mills: These are hand-held sieves used to puree and strain food. They are often used to make baby food or to purée tomatoes.
        There are several variables to consider when choosing a food filter. Here are some things to keep in mind:
        Materials: Stainless steel, plastic or silicone are the most common materials used to make food sieves. The most durable alternative is stainless steel, but it is heavy and difficult to clean. Plastic filters are lightweight and inexpensive, but they do not last as long as stainless steel filters. Silicone filters are lightweight and easy to clean, but may not last as long as filters made from other materials.
        Size: The filter must be the correct size. While a small mesh sieve may be sufficient to sift the flour, a larger colander may be required to drain the liquid from the pasta mold.
        Durability: The filter must be strong enough to do its job. Under the weight of heavier food, a fragile sieve can bend or break, resulting in a mess in the kitchen.
        Ease of use: Filters should be easy to use and clean. A sieve with a long handle or a comfortable handle can make straining food much easier.
        Cost: Food filters range from a few dollars for a simple plastic filter to several hundred dollars for a high quality stainless steel filter. When buying, consider your budget and how often you will use it.
