The Paderno World Cuisine 9-1/2-inch dia double criss-crossed mesh bouillon strainer is a staple in any kitchen. Its extra fine mesh will retain all seeds and lumps to create perfect soups, fruit coulis or sauces. It is made of stainless steel for durability and dishwasher cleaning and comes in two different diameters. Its strength will accommodate work with a pestle, when the bouillon strainer rests across a sauce pot.
