Matfer Bourgeat 10" Exoglass Bouillon Strainer (Chinoise)

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.

    Comparative Analysis: Exoglass vs. Standard Stainless Steel

    • Longevity: Standard steel strainers typically fail at the mesh-to-rim weld point within 6-12 months of high-volume use. The Exoglass molded integration is designed to last years under the same stress.
    • Cleaning: Unlike metal rims that can trap organic matter in the crimped edges, the smooth Exoglass transition is a single, non-porous surface that prevents bacterial growth.
    • When to Use This Model: The 10-inch version is the industry standard for commercial stock production. For smaller batch sauces (under 5 quarts), consider the 8-inch variant for easier maneuverability.
