Matfer Bourgeat Stainless Steel Tamis Sieve, 3-Piece Set

The Professional Secret to Flawless Texture and Silky Purees


When a standard food mill or china cap isn't enough, professional chefs turn to the tamis. The Matfer Bourgeat Stainless Steel Tamis 3-Piece Set represents the pinnacle of French culinary engineering, designed for the cook who demands zero lumps and maximum aeration. Unlike domestic sifters that struggle with moisture, this set is built to handle the densest mashed potatoes and the most delicate pastry creams with equal efficiency.


Why the Tamis is Indispensable


A drum sieve (tamis) offers a wider surface area than a conical strainer, allowing you to use a scraper or pestle to force ingredients through the mesh quickly. This process is essential for creating the legendary 'Robuchon-style' potatoes or for ensuring that your almond flour is perfectly aerated before folding it into a delicate macaron batter.


Built for the Rigors of Professional Service


Constructed from high-grade 18/10 stainless steel, these sieves are designed to resist the high-moisture environments of a busy prep station without rusting or staining. The #20 medium mesh is the 'sweet spot' for most kitchen tasks—it is fine enough to catch unwanted fibers and lumps in a fruit coulis, yet robust enough to withstand the pressure of milling root vegetables. Whether you are a fine-dining saucier or a dedicated home pastry enthusiast, this three-piece set provides the size versatility needed to match your bowl dimensions and batch sizes perfectly.

    Chef’s Insight on Mesh Tension: One of the key differentiators of Matfer Bourgeat is the tension of the mesh within the stainless steel frame. Low-quality sieves will bow or 'pop' out of the frame when pressure is applied with a scraper. These sieves maintain a flat, taut surface, ensuring that your leverage is used to process food rather than stretching the tool.

     

    When We Recommend the Matfer Bourgeat Tamis Set

    Who it Fits Best

    This set is built for the 'Hybrid' user—serious home cooks who have moved beyond basic tools and professional line cooks who need reliable, high-tension sieves for daily service.

    Where it Excels

    It is unbeatable for tasks requiring structural integrity: thick vegetable purees, thick pastry creams, or sifting heavy nut flours where plastic-framed sieves would flex or break.

    Professional Comparisons

    Compared to the Paderno or generic alternatives, the Matfer frames are more rigid. This rigidity allows for a more aggressive scrape, meaning you get more product through the mesh in less time with less fatigue.

    Chef Feedback

    "Line cooks love the 8-inch size specifically because it fits perfectly over standard stainless steel mixing bowls, preventing the sieve from sliding around during heavy sifting."

    Trade-offs & Considerations

    Because these are all-metal and high-tension, they require immediate drying after the washing to maintain their finish and performance.
