Sieve/Strainer Metaltex MOON 18 cm with PP Handle, Epoxy-Coated Black Stainless Steel Mesh

Metaltex MOON 18 cm sieve/strainer is designed for sifting dry ingredients and straining both wet and dry foods. The stainless steel mesh is epoxy-coated to provide non-stick properties and to simplify cleaning, while the polypropylene (PP) handle offers a comfortable, heat-resistant grip. The compact 18 cm diameter makes this sieve suitable for everyday kitchen tasks and it is made in Italy.

Advantages

The epoxy-coated stainless steel mesh reduces sticking and speeds up cleaning after use. A polypropylene handle provides lightweight, durable support and comfortable handling. The 18 cm size balances capacity and control, suitable for small to medium portions.

Suitable for

• Sifting flour, powdered sugar and dry baking ingredients
• Straining sauces, soups and broths to remove solids
• Rinsing small quantities of grains, seeds or berries
• Separating solids from liquids when preparing stocks or sauces

When it may not be suitable

This sieve is intended for light to medium kitchen tasks; it may be less efficient for very large volumes or heavy-duty industrial food processing. The epoxy coating improves non-stick performance but is not intended for abrasive cleaning methods that could damage the surface.

How to use

Usage recommendations

For best results when sifting flour or powdered sugar, tap the handle gently while moving the sieve in a small circular motion. For straining, use a spoon to press solids against the mesh and rinse immediately after use to prevent residue buildup.
