The Benefits of Using a Strainer
Like all of our enduring kitchen additions at Rikumo, this stylish and useful strainer provides multipurpose benefits for special meals, decadent desserts, and healthful beverage preparation.
By building your kitchen around gadgets made from resilient materials such as stainless steel and cast iron, you spend less on repeat purchases. Superior cooking, straining, and baking accessories also improve the quality of your cuisine and the efficiency of kitchen tasks. Simply elegant and designed to last for a lifetime, this durable stainless steel work from Saikai belongs in every kitchen.
Wherever your culinary exploits take you, our all-purpose stainless steel strainer is great for:
- Preparing tea and other foods: Great for preparing tea or rinsing rice, fruits, and vegetables before cooking begins, our precise strainer makes it easy to maintain an equal balance when integrating a variety of ingredients.
- Sifting flour and sugar: Finish cakes and pastries with a delicate dusting of powdered sugar. Ensure a smoother batter with properly sifted flour that is free of clumps and impurities. Sifted ingredients are properly aerated, leading to lighter and fluffier cookies, cakes, and other bakery delights.
- The perfect tea and herbal infusions: Use our stainless steel strainer with your favorite loose-leaf tea blends to create a harmonious profile. Unlike pre-packaged tea bags, a stainless steel strainer makes it easy to tailor the intensity of each pour. Add more for a richer experience, lighten the pack for a subtle tasting, or mix and match a variety of tea blends to create a custom tea ceremony that aligns with your preferences.
- Homemade lemonades, orange juice, and cocktails: If you love to innovate with fruity beverages, a stainless steel strainer is a must-have drink-making accessory. Pour your favorite fruit concoctions through the strainer to catch the pulp and seeds for a clear and refreshing sip.
- Refine the taste and texture of sauces: A steel strainer is also great for preparing better sauces. Whether preparing a gravy or seasoned broth, finishing your dish with a sauce that’s been properly strained improves the consistency of your flavors and textures.
How To Clean Your Stainless Steel Strainer
Immediately after use, rinse and use a bristled cleaning brush to remove trapped particles. If your kitchen is equipped with a sprayer nozzle, this is the easiest way to rinse away stubborn sauces, pasta, and herbal granules. While rinsing and scrubbing, be sure to inspect the fine mesh on both sides and the adjoining rim for any leftover particles.
If sauce or food particles were left to dry on the strainer, you may need to soak the strainer in hot water before scrubbing it with a mild dish soap. After scrubbing and rinsing thoroughly, dry your strainer completely before storage.
