3-Piece Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Strainer Set – Perfect for Sifting and Straining!

Chelsea B.Chelsea B.: I love these strainers - the handle, the fine mesh, easy cleanup, the stackability (is that a word? It is now) the small one is perfect for straining the loose tea I sometimes drink. BUT I had to knock off one star... after a few weeks of use, I sliced my thumb on a stray wire while washing them. It wouldn't be a big deal except my 3 year old was playing in the sink next to me at the time, and sometimes I let him play with the "safe" kitchen gadgets while I cook. It could have been his finger and it could have been a deeper cut. I yanked the wire out with some pliers and it was a little over an inch long, apparently not attached to anything so my guess is it was just a scrap that got stuck in the rim during manufacture?

I thoroughly inspected all three afterward and never found any other strays, but I'm wary now. No further problems or signs of breakage, so I would still recommend this set with just a word of caution.

Myownstuff: I have used all pieces of this set. Very happy with this purchase. I have used the bag for draining my chicken broth. It’s not as good as three layers of a linen dish towel. But, it’s a lot easier to use and clean. The stainless steel strainers are great. They stay where I put them on whatever I put them over. The little loop is long enough that it does slip off the edge of the glass, bottle or pot that I my be using. They have done well in the dishwasher after several cycles.

Amazon Customer: I put them to use quite immediately once I got them from Amazon. I used the middle size strainer to strain fried tofu, it feels good to see excess oil dripping off it. Before I wash it, I love it how it was so easy to wipe off any oil left on the strainer before i left it in my dishwasher. The larger size was perfect to clean lentils under the fawcet with running water.
There is one thing puzzles me though. Kitchenismo attached a small card to advise customer to register the purchase for a lifetime warranty, however the website listed on the card doesn't even work. I mean it's not a big deal, it is not like it is a big purchase that I need the warranty, but maybe make sure your website works before you promote it or it feels unprofessional.

Wh Gulledge III: I bought these strainers primarily for the small one. I make daily single glass lemon aid and the strainer is perfect for this. It sits perfectly in the glass and with the stainless loop type handle it is so balanced it needs no handle support. I've had several previous small strainers and this one eliminates all of the problems I had with them.

On one the mesh was so flimsy it used to collapse upon washing and drying. The Kitchenismo strainer is very robust and solid while still being fine meshed and delicate. On another strainer the wires began to poke out around the rim and when cleaning they would poke fingers. The Kitchenismo has a nice solid stainless rim that totally encapsulates the portion of the strainer that could allow wire to poke out. Very easy to wash and dry. This strainer is very well made and very fairly priced. I'm certain it will last a long time and perform as I expect it to. The larger strainers are as well made as the small one and I expect to get excellent use out of them as well. All have a perfect belly form in my opinion, not too deep and not too shallow. Highly recommended product.

Jade C.: I really only needed the small size, but since I could get 3 sizes for $9, I figured why not go for it. I should start by saying I have not had a chance to use any of the strainers yet, but they do seem to be well constructed. The large size would be great for straining orzo pasta or other small grains that slip through the holes of my current strainer. The only potential problem I see with the large strainer is that you can't set it across the sink or down into it while you pour whatever you want to strain into it, so you have to hold the strainer in one hand and your pot/pan in the other. This probably isn't an issue for many people, but if you don't have enough grip strength to manage the pot/pan with one hand, you could end up with a mess or potentially getting burned. However, you could possibly work around that by putting the strainer upside down over the top of the pot (it's roughly the same size as my 3 qt saucepan), then using both hands to flip it over. The other two sizes would not likely be a problem because whatever is being strained through them probably wouldn't be heavy enough to be an issue.
