METALTEX PILTUVE 12 cm stainless steel sieve/strainer is a compact kitchen tool intended for everyday food preparation tasks. Made from stainless steel, the 12 cm diameter strainer is suitable for sifting dry ingredients, rinsing small portions of fruit or vegetables, draining liquids from canned goods or pasta, and separating solids from broths or sauces. Its compact form fits easily into drawers and sinks while offering corrosion resistance and simple maintenance.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction provides durability and resistance to rust, while the fine mesh and rigid frame ensure consistent sifting and reliable drainage without deformation during use. The small footprint and lightweight design make it convenient to handle and store, and the smooth surfaces allow for easy cleaning by hand or in a dishwasher. The neutral metallic finish is suitable for different kitchen styles and does not react with acidic ingredients.

How to use

Hold the strainer over the receiving container and pour or spoon the ingredient through the mesh for sifting or draining. For rinsing, place the item to be rinsed in the strainer and run water over it while gently shaking to remove debris. When separating solids from liquids, pour the mixture into the strainer and allow the liquid to pass through; tap the rim gently if needed to speed drainage. After use, rinse immediately to remove residue and either place in the dishwasher or wash by hand with warm soapy water.

Usage recommendations

Avoid using the strainer with very hot oil or over direct flames. Do not use abrasive scouring pads that may scratch the metal surface. Store in a dry place to maintain corrosion resistance and check mesh integrity periodically to ensure consistent performance.
