sifters
Baking aeration tools
Sifters are tools or devices used for sifting—separating fine particles from coarse ones by passing material through a mesh or screen.
A flour sifter removes lumps and aerates baking ingredients.
Beyond kitchen use, sifters appear wherever sorting by size matters: archaeologists with their sifters, miners sifting for gold.
People who sift through information or evidence are also sifters.
