Sieve with Mesh Paderno T-3190-16, diameter 16 cm, stainless mesh, kitchen strainer

Paderno T-3190-16 is a kitchen sieve with a 16 cm diameter and a fine stainless steel mesh designed for straining, sifting and rinsing ingredients. Its compact round frame and uniform mesh allow efficient separation of solids from liquids, removal of lumps from dry ingredients and gentle rinsing of grains and small vegetables. The sieve is intended for everyday culinary tasks in home kitchens and pastry work where precise texture control is required.

Advantages

The stainless steel mesh resists corrosion and preserves flavour neutrality while providing a fine, consistent pore structure for even sifting. The 16 cm diameter offers a balance between capacity and control, making it easy to handle and store. The solid rim and lightweight construction ensure stable performance during use and simple maintenance after food preparation.

Suitable for

• Straining sauces, stocks and broths
• Sifting flour, powdered sugar and dry ingredients for baking
• Rinsing rice, quinoa, lentils and small vegetables
• Removing seeds or pulp from purees and fruit juices

Key specifications

• Diameter: 16 cm
• Mesh material: stainless steel

How to use

Hold the sieve over a bowl, pot or sink and pour ingredients through the mesh, tapping the rim gently to encourage stubborn particles to pass. For sifting dry ingredients, place the sieve above the mixing bowl and rub or shake ingredients through the mesh until the desired consistency is reached. Rinse the mesh under running water after straining grains or vegetables; use a soft brush if needed to dislodge trapped particles. Allow to dry fully before storing.

Usage recommendations

To prolong mesh life and maintain performance, avoid aggressive scrubbing with metal scouring pads and do not expose the sieve to prolonged acidic solutions. Clean promptly after use, dry thoroughly and store in a dry place. For very fine powders, sift multiple times as needed to achieve uniform texture.
