HIC’s Double-Ear Nylon Mesh Strainers are the perfect cooking tools for sifting, draining, straining, and sieving foods and ingredients before baking and cooking. Each nylon strainer features a double-ear support to sit securely on pots and pans, mixing bowls and other food preparation containers, keeping both hands free for other tasks, like measuring and pouring. Use them like a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, skins and other fibrous bulk and smaller bits for even consistencies and creamier textures in soups and sauces, pastes and purees. No more lumps! These food strainers are versatile kitchen accessories. Rinse legumes, rice, and grains before cooking, catch seeds and pulp when juicing fresh lemons, or drain and strain infusions of herbs or mulling spices. They double nicely as a sifter, too. Powdered ingredients like flour, crushed spices and confectioners’ sugar or ground nut, oat and grain flours tend to settle and compact during packaging and shipping. HIC’s Nylon Mesh Strainers remove clumps from these ingredients and aerate them for even lighter, fluffier baked goods. Made from a durable nylon with a fine nylon mesh and a double-ear design for added stability. Nylon is the perfect non reactive material for use with more acidic foods, like tomato and citrus.

Strainer set includes 1 each 3-inch, 4-inch, 5.5-inch and 7-inch nylon mesh strainers.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are the handles sized to permit hanging a set nesting together on one hook
Answer:	I don’t recommend these for milk Kefir. The holes clog up and don’t strain plus fruit flies got in. I don’t know if they are BPA free.
Question:	Are they dishwasher safe and safe for hot food such as canning
Answer:	Hi there - Thank you for your helpful question. Sterilization is not required for kefir brewing. Simply wash in warm soapy water. Thanks!
Question:	hi, where is this plastic strainer made in which country? thank you
Answer:	Hi there - Thank you for your helpful question. Our Kefir Caps are designed specifically for WIDE mouth mason jars. In the North America, standard-size Mason jars are made of soda-lime glass and come in two sizes: regular mouth, 2 3⁄8 in (60 mm) inner and 2 3⁄4 in (70 mm) outer diameter, and wide mouth, 3 in (76 mm) inner and 3 3⁄8 in (86 mm) outer diameter, versions. Thanks again!
Question:	Are these PBA free
Answer:	I do use them on Milk Kefir jars sometimes, but the design lends itself to Water Kefir better as the holes are pretty small on top, and thicker kefir will not strain as well. But the top is functional otherwise.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this good for straining cooked fruit for jelly
Answer:	The strainer kind of snaps into place in each funnel. It is not the most secure fit, but if you don't bang the funnel around or drop it, it stays in place and does its job.
Question:	Is the mesh fine enough to rinse quinoa
Answer:	The smaller funnel does fit (very snug) into the average wine bottle.
Question:	Can you strain thick kefir in these, that was made using cultures, so that only the bacteria remains in the strainer to be able to feed it again
Answer:	The proper way to place the strainer, inside the funnel, is to place it with the bottom part down and push it until it clicks on the little marks of the funnel. When I say the bottom part of the strainer, I mean the curved part down! If you notice, the strainer is not flat, it's concave (curved). I hope this helps!
Question:	Are they dishwasher safe
Answer:	My set came with 2 funnels and they measured 1/2" and 3/4" at the base.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the specs as for the fineness of the mesh for the 5 or 7 inch strainers? I need 1mm or less if I can find it
Answer:	A very unscientific answer: I used a ruler to measure and the holes look to be somewhere between one and a half & two mm. They are definitely larger than the strainer I replaced.
Question:	Good for kefir or not?? I've seen mixed reviews. Any better suggestions
Answer:	This strainer works well for kefir, but you have to stir the kefir with a wooden spoon to get it through the mesh in order to separate the grains from the cultured milk, and then put those grains in a clean container for your new batch of kefir. Also, using the sink sprayer to clean the kefir remnants out of the mesh is the most effective way to clean it...do NOT put it in the dishwasher as the heat will ruin the nylon mesh. Best wishes.
Question:	Is this fine enough to strain melted raw shea butter, and be effective (those pieces are very tiny, smaller than cofee grinds
Answer:	I did four test to see if I could answer your question adequately. First, I put ground coffe in the strainer and only the finest grains came through. Second, I pulled apart a tea bag and put the tea leaves in th strainer. After shaking it fo 30 seconds, about 3/4's of the leaves came through. Third, I took table salt and did the same process and about 90% came through. And fourth, I used regular sugar and 80% came through.Not knowing exactly what raw Shea butter actually is, but as a science teacher, I woul think that the mesh would be fine enough to strain the Shea butter. You could also add two fine layers of cheese cloth inside the strainer to help the catching of the raw Shea butter and let it drip until it stops and lift the cheese cloth and then turn it over into a bowl to retrieve your product. Hope this was helpful.
Question:	is this dishwasher safe
Answer:	I believe it is dishwasher safe -- top rack. That said, I encourage you to look for a better strainer. The mesh is flimsy and does not hold its shape. After just a few uses it separated from the plastic frame.

Product description

OXO’s three piece multi-purpose Funnel Set is ideal for transferring and straining soups, sauces, dry goods and more. Large and small funnels accommodate any size job, and the detachable strainer fits in both funnels for added versatility. Soft ribs on the neck of the funnels allows for a secure fit in all size bottle openings to prevent spilling, and the ribs allow air to escape so liquids pour in smoothly without splashing.

The funnels feature soft rubberized tab handles for easy control and vertical rubber ribs for a stable fit in virtually any bottle.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the strainer work when placed inside the funnel to use with bottles that have narrow openings
Answer:	I compared it to my best tea strainer, and the holes in this are bigger. I wouldn't want to use it to strain tea as I think it would let too much through.
Question:	will smaller funnels fit into size of wine bottles/vinegar bottles
Answer:	If your question is " How many STRAINERS (not strangers) come with this order, the answer is one (1).
Question:	How do you use the strainer? I cannot seem to figure out "how" to put it in properly to clip in place. Thanks so much
Answer:	Rim to bottom of basket is appx 1 1/2", mesh isn't super deep since the strainer is only 4" diameter
Question:	How wide is the hole at the bottom of the small funnel? I want something that can fit in a 3/8 inch opening
Answer:	I guess it would depend on how thick your yogurt is to start out. I have never tried it, but it would be worth a try. I use a Donvier Wave for straining my yogurt and the mesh is much finer and works perfectly. Good luck!!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can it be used to rinse and strain quinoa
Answer:	It is nylon, so I would be careful about staining, all I use mine for is kefir straining and it works very well for that.
Question:	Good to strain ghee
Answer:	Yes. I cook quinoa quite often and this does the job nicely.
Question:	Is the actual mesh one size only or multiple sizes
Answer:	It depends on the size of the grains. I purchased this set to use for straining kefir. I used the smallest strainer when I first started out with the tiny, "young" grains. As my grains grew in size and volume, I moved up to the middle-sized strainer, then the largest strainer. I now use only the large strainer. If by "thick" kefir you mean larger grains, yes, the large strainer should work. But I find that the bottom of the strainer has to be constantly scraped (I use the edge of a spatula, I find it works better than a spoon) to clear it or no more liquid will seep through the mesh.
Question:	Is the mesh firm or floppy
Answer:	Mine have done beautifully in the dishwasher thus far. When I can, I wash by hand, but I have done both depending on what is being strained. They are made for light items, not items that require the strength of metal. I use mine for water kefir grains mostly.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are the stated diameters (3", 4" and 5.5") the overall diameter including the frame, or just the mesh part of the strainer
Answer:	I just measured my set...the stated overall diameter is measured to the outer edge of the strainer (includes the "lip".
Question:	What is the size of the holes, in milliliters, for the mesh? It’s seems very relevant question, but lacking in nearly every product
Answer:	I have a micron o meter but it would be impossible to measure. I don't have a mesh Gauge. Eyeball judgement next to a window screen... the mesh is HALF window screen mesh. Pretty 'dang' fine.
Question:	Will this strain scorched milk
Answer:	I have never used it for scorched milk, but the mesh is so fine that I do think it would work. I bought these to strain smaller things so I don't have to use cheese cloth as often, they have worked great for me.
Question:	Where are these made
Answer:	China. I assumed they were made in the US, (hence the name) but nope...I returned mine.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are these good for washing blueberries
Answer:	The cage sit around one inch above bottom. Kefir Fermenter 1.5L for family use. If you need individual/small volume type "kefir Fermenter 0.35L" or Kefir Fermenter 0.6L". They are coming with or without kefir grains.The top of Kefir Fermenter 1.5L is for small hand definitely. But use kitchen washing brash. Many kinds of them on the market. Truly, if you need kefir for yourself - use KF 0.35L
Question:	Could this be used to drain the contents of an 8 ounce can
Answer:	It is big! Buy small mug (12oz). It is on sale now. It is enough for one person each day. Type Kefir Fermenter 0.35L/12oz.
Question:	Are these strainers BPA free
Answer:	No! Use vinegar to clean jar, lid, straw and basket. Rinse with nonclorinated water. Rinse the grains in a jar of nonfat or low fat milk. Do not rinse kefir grains in clorinated water. Will kill many of the pro biotics. Every time you rinse the milk kefir grains with water you are starting over. You can store the sealed (lid with no holes) jar in the fridge for a few days if needed. Strain the milk kefir grains from the milk, replace in clean kefir grains container, put into jar of milk. The first batch of kefir may or may not be drinkable. If it doesn't smell right, dump the milk, refill with milk. Never use anti bacterial soap to clean anything that will come into contact with the milk or the kefir grains.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with a recipe booklet
Answer:	I ordered my strainer from Kitchenwize and it came with KitchenWize instruction sheet including directions for making Greek Yogurt as well as making Nut Milk; also includes kitchenwize email and facebook page for further help and/or info. One thing not mentioned is use of paper coffee filter in strainer basket, which I find beneficial when straining for whey. I am very pleased with this strainer: it is just a very convenient way to strain. If you want recipes for using whey strained from yogurt or using nutmilk in recipes, google and no doubt you will find many links for recipes.
Question:	How fine is the mesh on this? I use a regular strainer and chunks of pulp always get through. Is that the case with this too
Answer:	The mesh is pretty fine, finer than any other strainer I've used. Anything that gets through is minimal and has not affected my kids drinking the nut milk. If you let the milk sit awhile after straining or refrigerate it, there will be a very tiny amount of fine particles at the bottom of the cup or bottle, but mostly only milk gets through. We've really enjoyed this strainer.
Question:	Is this plastic? If so is is bpa free
Answer:	The strainer is made from BPA-free plastic. It is made out of food grade Plastic #5 - Polypropylene, which is a BPA free plastic and the mesh filter is stainless steel.
Question:	Does it have a cover lid to use while straining in the fridge
Answer:	It does not have a lid. It worked well but it was also smaller then expected. When I made a batch of yogurt with a half gallon of milk it only could hold about half.
