Matfer Bourgeat 10-inch Exoglass Bouillon Strainer (Chinois)

The Stock Strainer Built for High-Volume Kitchens

The Matfer Bourgeat 10-inch Exoglass Bouillon Strainer is made for kitchens that strain stock, bisque and sauce in volume and need equipment that holds up to that pace. Its wide cone moves large quantities of liquid quickly, and its Exoglass construction outlasts stainless steel strainers that dent, warp or separate at the rim. Michelin-starred kitchens worldwide rely on Matfer’s Exoglass strainers for clear stocks and smooth sauces.

Features That Matter in Daily Use

• Mesh molded into the frame: Matfer bonds the fine stainless steel mesh into the Exoglass frame during molding, eliminating the crimped edges where conventional strainers loosen, sag and trap food.


• Two reinforcement wires: protect the mesh and hold the cone’s shape under the weight of bones, vegetables and shells.


• Cool-touch frame and insulated handle: the frame stays cool to the touch, and the thumb rest gives a secure grip when pouring heavy, hot stock.


• One-piece body and handle: no joints or seams for food to collect in, which makes cleaning faster and more hygienic.


• Two side hooks: rest the strainer securely on a stockpot rim for hands-free straining.


• Non-porous surface: will not stain, retain odors from shellfish or aromatics, or leach chemicals into food.


• Built for commercial cleaning: withstands industrial dishwasher cycles, so kitchens accustomed to replacing strainers every six months can stop.

Where It Earns Its Place

Use it for veal, chicken and fish stocks, lobster and shrimp bisques, and large batches of sauce or custard base. The fine mesh also sifts flour and other dry ingredients.
