Sieve strainer 14 cm METALTEX MOON with handle, epoxy-coated stainless steel mesh, PP handle, black

METALTEX MOON sieve strainer, 14 cm diameter, is designed for sifting dry and wet ingredients in everyday cooking and baking. The stainless steel mesh is epoxy-coated to reduce sticking and simplify cleaning, while the polypropylene (PP) handle offers a comfortable and heat-resistant grip. Made in Italy, this compact sieve is suitable for tasks that require fine straining or dusting of ingredients.

Advantages

Epoxy-coated stainless steel mesh provides non-stick performance and easier cleaning compared with untreated metal; the PP handle is lightweight, durable and comfortable to hold. The 14 cm diameter makes the sieve compact and easy to store, while the construction is intended for frequent kitchen use.

Suitable for

• Sifting flour, powdered sugar and cocoa
• Straining sauces, purees and custards
• Rinsing small quantities of grains or seeds
• Dusting baked goods with fine toppings

When it may not be suitable

This 14 cm sieve is compact and meant for small to medium portions; it may be impractical for processing very large volumes or for coarse sieving of large particles. It is not intended for heavy-duty industrial use or for straining extremely hot liquids without caution due to the handle material.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 14 cm
• Mesh material: stainless steel with epoxy coating
• Handle material: polypropylene (PP)
• Colour: black (handle and frame finish)
• Country of manufacture: Italy

How to use

Hold the sieve by the polypropylene handle and gently shake or tap while pouring dry ingredients through the mesh to obtain a fine, even texture. For liquids or sauces, pour slowly into the centre of the mesh and use a spoon to help pass the mixture through if needed. Rinse under running water and use a soft brush to remove particles trapped in the mesh before drying.

What to consider before purchase

• Suitable portion size: best for small to medium quantities due to 14 cm diameter
• Cleaning: epoxy coating eases cleaning but verify compatibility with your dishwasher if needed
• Handle material: polypropylene is durable but avoid exposing to direct flame or very high temperatures

Usage recommendations

Use gentle motions when sieving and avoid pressing coarse debris through the mesh to maintain the epoxy coating and mesh integrity; after each use, rinse and dry thoroughly to prevent residue buildup.
