If you bake frequently, then a flour sifter is worth the investment. It helps to evenly distribute the flour, which results in lighter, fluffier baked goods.
Are strainers and sifters the same? No, they are not the same. Strainers are used to remove large pieces of food or debris from a liquid, while sifters are used to remove small pieces of food or debris from a dry ingredient.
A strainer can technically be used as a sifter, but it's not the ideal tool for the job. A sifter has a much finer mesh, which allows smaller particles to fall through while sifting. A strainer's mesh is more coarse, so it won't be as effective at sifting out smaller particles.
When it comes to baking, there are a few key ingredients that you always want to make sure are correctly measured. This is especially true for flour, which is often the key structural ingredient in baked goods. So, the question is, do you sift first then measure? The answer is actually no. Sifting flour can actually cause you to use more flour than you need, resulting in a heavier, denser final product. Instead, simply measure the flour by spooning it into your measuring cup and then leveling it off with a knife. This will give you the most accurate

This is effective. has two screens through which the flour must pass. The extra work is worthwhile if you want fluffy, light biscuits. A few days ago, it also produced silky frosting for my cake when combined with powdered sugar.

RUST RESISTANT STAINLESS STEEL WILL EASILY LAST A GENERATION OR MORE: Stainless steel is lightweight, but stronger than aluminum or plastic - so you never need to worry about cracks, chips, dents and scratches. This is the sifter that you'll still be using in 20 years

About a week ago, I placed an order and received this. I looked all over town for one before turning to Amazon because I couldn't find a well-made one (every store had the inexpensive squeeze-handle variety). I really hadn't bought anything for the kitchen here before, so I didn't even think to look here until I had tried everything else. My late mother had one that was like to this one, but it wasn't stainless steel like this one, and it was beginning to corrode and get unhygienic. Since it is made of stainless steel, corrosion should not be an issue. Rust cannot form on stainless. I'll now give my review. I've used it to sift flour for a pan of biscuits and some Bisquick for pancakes three or four times. Anyone who has ever used Bisquick is aware of how lumpy it can be. I don't know why, but it always is. Every time, it has performed admirably. Use of the turn handle is significantly simpler than the squeeze handle. After ten to fifteen seconds of pressing one of the squeeze handle ones in the store (which was obviously empty), my hand began to hurt (I have rheumatoid arthritis). There are no issues with this one. It takes fifteen to twenty seconds to sift two cups of flour (the amount I use to make my biscuits). If you try to break up the large lumps in the bottom, it can take a little while longer, but I throw those in the trash. Simply said, I'm quite happy with it. Given how inexpensive it is, it's nicely crafted and surprisingly easy to use. It's a three cup size, so it doesn't take up a lot of cabinet space, which is usually a problem for me since all of my cabinets are already very packed. I would strongly advise it. Very Happy. For such a cheap price, it's better than I had anticipated.

This was a gift for my daughter. One each for myself, my mother, and my grandmother. My fingers were crossed that it wouldn't be flimsy. It isn't. It is quite durable. In my opinion, this vintage sifter is the best model ever produced. I only wish they had painted the tiny wooden handle knob red, like the previous ones, to evoke nostalgia. Don't ever wash it! You don't need to wash it because you only use it for flour. Just give it a thorough dusting and wipe it down with a dry towel. Cleaning it will clog it up. Paste is made from flour and water.

This is by much superior to the other sort of commonly used sifter that uses a squeezing mechanism in the handle, for two reasons. (1) You can clean this one! When you are finished sifting, all of the flour or other material can be readily washed out because there is only one screen at the bottom. Multiple permanently pressed-in screens are used in squeeze-style sifters, which are prone to items getting trapped between them and never sifting all the way through. (2) This one is considerably easier on the hands and fingers. Because of her hand problems, my wife would be unable to repeatedly squeeze the other sort of sifter. Even I found that method to be exceedingly tiring after sifting even a tiny quantity of flour. On the other hand, this sifter's crank-style sifter mechanism makes it very simple to operate for extended periods of time without generating excessive hand and finger strain.This was the best sifter I could locate, and thus far it seems to meet the demand. I wish I could have found a better-made sifter overall, with a higher duty structure and sifting mechanism, but I was unable to find such a tool.

Since I had never used a hand crank sifter before, I was hesitant to buy one, but now that I have, I know I will never go back to the type you have to squeeze. This sifter is attractive and functional, and the crank mechanism is easier to use than I ever could have anticipated. I learnt my lesson after ruining too many sifters when washing them with water, so I didn't even dampen the towel I used to clean this one. I think it stores enough flour, thus the size is suitable for my purposes. When I took up the full sifter, it did leave a mess on my table, but I think this is to be expected because baking is already a messy hobby for me. If this sifter came in a variety of colors, I would definitely buy it again and might even buy some more right now.

Some brands of crank sifters, as some people have already pointed out, have "Loose Screens," like the one I gave back to a local retailer. I was determined to find a sifter that had the screen in contact with the majority of the revolving "Wire" rather than only the bottom, like the one I used when I was a child.The Chef Giant 5 Cup I received does an outstanding job of sifting; with just a few turns of the crank, it pours a snowstorm of flour into the bowl! The screen does not fit tightly, however it is unimportant because this sifter performs "Fine" because of it.This was ordered using the one-day delivery option, and it was delivered on time. When I opened the item, I discovered what looked to be a very little sifter. Have I received the wrong size? I desired a 5 Cup. As little as this sifter appears to be, it can only handle five cups of flour. I took out my bag of flour and began measuring out the necessary amount using a measuring cup.I now like the smaller size because my kitchen is small and the sifter's bottom is narrow, putting more flour in the bowl and less on the counter. I would suggest this Chef Giant 5 Cup Sifter to others since I am so happy with it.

In a movie about preparing bread, I spotted this equipment. I figured that would fix my issue with uniformly dusting flour. It succeeded! I should point you that it is still really new—I've only used it a couple of times. I find it a little challenging to push together so that the flour is distributed evenly. It could be that the gadget is fresh. The presence of arthritis may be problematic for you. It is really simple to clean, however I was a little concerned about completely drying it. Without a doubt, I don't want it to rust. So far, I believe it was a wise investment at a very affordable price.

This sifter is awesome! Because it makes it so simple and quick, it helped me sort through stuff I hadn't before. Sifting flour, confectioners' sugar, and cocoa results in frostings and cake batters that are flawlessly smooth.The only drawbacks are that: 1. The unit can only be cleaned by wiping it down with a damp cloth;A lot of the material I'm sifting ends up on the parchment I set the cup on because the opening is a little too big to put on top of my one-cup measure.A funnel to funnel the sifted ingredients into the measuring cup would be a nice addition. Top and bottom covers would allow you to move a full sifter without leaving a trail of flour.

Excellent design! Usually, I don't bother sifting wheat one agonizing atom at a time since I find it tedious. Even when I ignore this important step, the recipe insists and takes revenge by having a huge fail rate. But after few margaritas, like a foo, I made the decision to learn how to prepare a French treat called a "macaron." Clearly anally-retentive when it comes to their cookies, the French. I finally gave up and bought this pet after a string of abject failures. I can't even finish reading an article because the small crank feeds the flour through the machine so quickly. I used to be able to read a book while sifting thanks to earlier sifters. And it's all extremely fluffy, which I assume is the goal. Even though the macarons are still elusive tiny things, I still botch them up about 50% of the time. A win!
When sifting flour, the goal is to add air to the flour so that it will be lighter and have more volume. Sifting also breaks up clumps of flour so that your finished product will be smoother.
You can clean a sieve by washing it with soap and water, or by scrubbing it with a brush. You can also rinse it with vinegar or bleach to disinfect it.
To dissolve hardened flour, simply add it to a bowl of water and stir until it has fully dissolved. You can then use this water to bake with or to make a flour paste.
Vinegar and baking soda are both effective at cleaning grease. Vinegar is an acidic substance that breaks down grease, while baking soda is a base that absorbs grease.
A flour sifter is a kitchen tool that is used to sift flour before baking. It is a cylindrical device with a mesh screen that separates the flour from any lumps or debris. A flour sifter is dishwasher safe, but it is important to clean it after each use to prevent the build-up of flour on the mesh screen.
