How to use

Place the strainer over a bowl, pot or sink, then pour the contents to be drained or rinsed through the mesh. For rinsing fruits and vegetables, move them gently in the strainer under running water to remove debris. When draining pasta or boiling ingredients, hold the strainer steady while pouring to allow liquid to flow away. For dry sifting, tap the rim or shake lightly to pass fine ingredients through the mesh evenly. After use, rinse the strainer immediately to remove food residue and allow it to dry thoroughly.

Usage recommendations

To prolong service life, avoid excessive force on the mesh and do not use the strainer for heavy solid loads beyond its size. Clean promptly after use and dry to reduce the risk of corrosion. Suitable for everyday kitchen tasks like rinsing produce and straining liquids; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the metal finish.
