Absolutely no lumps, food chunks, or anything but the finest particles will filter through the double mesh bottom of the Norpro stainless-steel mesh strainer. The smooth, polished steel ring rests evenly atop bowls and pots so that you can multitask while your food drains and strains. The 5-inch sieve is handy for straining tea or sauces. It"s also ideal for flouring baking pans and dusting confectioner"s sugar over your favorite pastries and baked goodies. Made of Krona stainless steel, which won"t chip or dent.
