A medium-mesh sieve does more of a kitchen’s routine straining than any other strainer, and the Matfer Bourgeat 8-inch Exoglass Medium Sieve is built for daily use. Home cooks with professional experience will know it as a standard prep tool for straining stock, rinsing berries and draining blanched vegetables.
The mesh drains quickly while still holding back solids, so the sieve doubles as a small colander. Its ventilated Exoglass handle stays cool, which lets you dip the sieve straight into a simmering pot and lift out food. Two hooks hold it across a bowl or pot rim for hands-free draining. Matfer molds the body and handle in one piece, leaving no seams or welds to clean around.
When to Choose the Fine Sieve Instead
For custards and coulis that need to be completely smooth, the Matfer Bourgeat 8-inch Exoglass Fine Sieve Strainer catches smaller particles.
