Metal strainer ORION 10 cm — kitchen sieve for sifting and draining

The ORION metal strainer with a 10 cm diameter is a compact kitchen sieve designed for everyday small-batch cooking tasks. Constructed from metal, the strainer provides durable performance for sifting dry ingredients and draining small portions of liquids. Its fine mesh and ergonomic handle support tasks such as rinsing grains, straining sauces, removing seeds, and sifting flour or powdered sugar in a limited workspace.

Advantages

The metal construction offers longevity and resistance to deformation during regular use, while the 10 cm diameter makes this tool convenient for handling single servings and small quantities. The fine mesh enables efficient separation of solids from liquids and even distribution when sifting dry ingredients. Its compact size and simple shape make it easy to store in kitchen drawers or hang on a utensil rack.

• Draining canned food or small portions of pasta

Key specifications

• Diameter: 10 cm
• Material: metal mesh and metal frame
• Mesh type: fine mesh suitable for small particles and liquids
• Intended use: sifting dry ingredients and draining small portions of liquids
• Design: compact, handheld with a handle for controlled pouring and shaking

How to use

Hold the ORION metal strainer over a bowl, pot or sink and pour the ingredient through the mesh. For rinsing grains, place the grains in the strainer and run cold water through the mesh until water runs clear. When sifting dry ingredients, tap or shake the strainer gently to achieve an even distribution. For straining sauces or purées, press with a spatula if necessary to help pass the liquid through while retaining solids in the mesh. After use, rinse immediately to remove residues and prevent clogging.

Usage recommendations

To prolong the life of the strainer, avoid exposing it to strong abrasives or harsh chemicals. Dry thoroughly after washing to prevent surface oxidation. Use appropriate force when pressing solids to avoid deforming the mesh; for very fine powders use light tapping rather than excessive pressure.
