Paderno Sieve with Mesh Ø12 cm T-3190-12 — kitchen strainer, stainless steel mesh

Paderno sieve with mesh Ø12 cm (model T-3190-12) is a compact kitchen strainer designed for sifting, rinsing and draining small quantities of ingredients. The product consists of a fine stainless steel mesh fitted into a circular frame with a short handle, offering precise control for portion work. Its 12 cm diameter is intended for tasks requiring accuracy and a gentle touch, such as dusting powdered sugar, straining tea leaves, washing small berries or rinsing herbs and small vegetables.

Advantages

The stainless steel mesh provides corrosion resistance and maintains its shape during repeated use, while the circular frame ensures even tension at the mesh edge for consistent sifting. The compact size makes the sieve easy to store and suitable for single-serving preparations. The design allows quick rinsing and effective draining without trapping residue, supporting hygienic kitchen use and straightforward cleaning.

How to use

Hold the sieve over the target container or food item and add the ingredient to the center of the mesh. For sifting powdered ingredients, gently tap the handle or shake the mesh to obtain an even distribution. For rinsing, place the ingredients in the mesh and run cold water through the sieve until the water runs clear, then shake to drain excess moisture. After use, remove any trapped particles by rinsing and, if needed, wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.

Usage recommendations

Use the Paderno sieve with light pressure and avoid forcing large or hard particles through the fine mesh; this preserves the mesh integrity and prolongs the useful life of the strainer. Store in a dry place and dry completely after washing to maintain stainless steel finish and hygiene.
