Takeaway: Durable, lightweight, fine mesh sieves.

In the multi- pack I received a small unit with a 2.5” diameter and 4.5” handle, medium size with a 4.5” diameter and 5.25” handle, and large with an 8” diameter and 6.25” handle. All of these fit comfortably in the hand and are lightweight but not flimsy. Each one has a hanging loop at the end and a fine mesh half-sphere basket. The rims of the sieves are very durable and rigid, so do not bend through normal use.

The mesh baskets are crimped into the rim, and there’s a tiny bit of overlap where the mesh against the metal is exposed underneath. This design forms and reinforces the mesh basket so that it won’t detach from the rim, though you’ll need to take extra care when cleaning that nothing gets trapped between the layers. The handles and hangers are spot welded to the rim, and while they feel securely attached and can handle some weight and pressure, keep this in mind during use and cleaning as you don’t want to exert too much pressure at these points to prevent the weld points from separating. You may also want to avoid putting these through the dishwasher as the rapid temperature changes from the hot water and heated dry cycles paired with abrasive cleaning agents could weaken these joints.

I use the large sieve a lot when baking to sift my dry ingredients like sugar and flour to ensure that no large clumps or large crystals of salt or sugar end up in the mixture creating pockets of undissolved ingredients. The sieves are sturdy enough that I can press and scrape against them firmly to push fine and soft foods through. The medium sieve works well for straining foods, like custard which I often make for ice cream, as the mesh size is small enough to catch the chunky bits of curdled egg for a smoother creamy texture. The small sieve works great for sifting small quantities of spices or could be used to dust drinks, cakes, and cookies with powdered sugar, chocolate, matcha, or espresso powder. Overall, I really like this set of sieve strainers. They’re durably constructed, hold up well during use, and are easy to clean.
