Mechanical Precision for the Perfect Puree The Matfer Bourgeat Stainless Steel Food Mill N3004X is engineered for chefs who prioritize texture and flavor integrity. Unlike electric processors that can incorporate too much air or generate heat that dulls the vibrant color of fresh produce, this manual mill uses a low-impact rotating blade to push food through perforated disks. This traditional French method ensures you leave behind unwanted fibers, seeds, and skins while producing a silky-smooth consistency. Whether you are a professional saucier working on a signature coulis or a home enthusiast canning late-summer tomatoes, this tool excels where speed must be balanced with delicacy. The heavy-duty stainless steel construction is designed for high-acid environments, meaning it won't react with tomatoes or citrus, preserving the clean, metallic-free taste of your ingredients. The mill sits securely on stock pots using three adjustable side legs, allowing for a stable, ergonomic workflow during long prep sessions. With a 3.5-quart capacity and a throughput of roughly one pound per minute, it bridges the gap between domestic gadgets and industrial equipment. Learn More

Professional Precision: The Matfer Bourgeat 8" Exoglass Medium Sieve In the high-pressure environment of a professional kitchen, equipment failure isn't just an inconvenience—it's a service-stopper. The Matfer Bourgeat Medium Sieve (SKU: 017365) is the definitive answer to the weaknesses of traditional metal and plastic strainers.

This allows you to dip the sieve directly into simmering stock pots or boiling liquids to retrieve product without the risk of burns. The medium-gauge stainless steel mesh is specifically tensioned for versatility, making it the ideal tool for washing delicate berries, straining heavy stocks, or sifting dry ingredients like flour and cocoa with effortless consistency.

The Indestructible Standard: Why High-Volume Kitchens Choose Exoglass Engineered with proprietary composite material science to outlast stainless steel and deliver Michelin-level clarity without the fragility of traditional mesh. In the high-pressure environment of a commercial kitchen, the Matfer Bourgeat 10" Exoglass Chinoise is not just a tool; it is a solution to the most common failure points in food preparation. Traditional stainless steel strainers often suffer from mesh separation, handle fatigue, and warping when exposed to constant heat. This professional-grade bouillon strainer solves these issues through Exoglass material science—a proprietary glass-fiber composite that is non-deformable, non-porous, and heat-resistant up to 430°F. By integrating the fine stainless steel mesh directly into the Exoglass frame during the molding process, Matfer Bourgeat has eliminated the weak 'crimped' edges found on lesser tools. This results in a structural bond that prevents sagging and ensures consistent, ultra-fine filtration for stocks, bisques, and sauces. For the professional chef, this means achieving superior clarity and texture without the recurring expense of cheesecloth or the frustration of replacing dented equipment. This is the industrial-strength choice for those who refuse to compromise on consistency. Unrivaled Durability: The Exoglass composite is virtually indestructible and won't rust or oxidize. Thermal Safety: The handle remains cool to the touch even when submerged in boiling liquids, protecting staff from burns. Superior Hygiene: One-piece ergonomic design eliminates food traps, making it fully dishwasher safe and HACCP compliant. Fine-Mesh Precision: Delivers high-clarity liquids, removing even the smallest particulates for professional plating. Mesh Protection: Features two protective reinforcement wires that maintain the shape of the cone under the weight of heavy solids. Learn More
