fine strainer

Small-holed kitchen sifter

A fine strainer is a kitchen tool with a tight mesh for separating small particles from liquids or dry ingredients.

Unlike coarse strainers, the dense weave catches seeds, pulp, and fine sediment: Pass the custard through a fine strainer to remove any lumps.

Essential for smooth sauces, clarified stocks, and sifting powdered sugar.
