Matfer Bourgeat 3-Piece Stainless Steel Tamis Set

A tamis, or drum sieve, is the tool pastry cooks and chefs use for the smoothest mashed potatoes and vegetable purees. You set it over a bowl and press the food through its flat screen with a scraper. This Matfer Bourgeat set includes three stainless steel tamis sieves in different diameters, so there is one sized for whatever bowl and batch you are working with.

The same flat screen sifts flour, almond flour and powdered sugar evenly for baking. Frames and mesh are both stainless steel, which resists rust and staining in a wet prep area.

Choosing a Size

Pick the sieve whose rim rests securely on your bowl. The two smaller sieves suit single batches and smaller bowls; the 10-inch handles larger quantities of puree or flour.
