You’ll Use These Strainers All the Time!

Sieves/mesh strainers are a must-have! I love having three sizes, and I use my strainers nearly daily. These don’t rust or crumple; I’ve had the same set for nearly 20 years! Mine are no longer lovely and shiny, but they are old, and I have put them in the dishwasher a few times, which will discolor aluminum.

Use your strainers:

• to drain and rinse canned beans, corn, diced tomatoes
• to capture seeds when I squeeze a fresh lemon, lime, or orange
• to drain a small amount of pasta
• to rinse rice and dried peas and beans before cooking
