FAQs:
What is the difference between a strainer and a sieve?
A strainer is commonly used for liquids such as stocks, soups, and sauces, helping separate solids from liquids. A sieve, on the other hand, has a finer mesh and is perfect for sifting flour, sugar, or cocoa. Both are essential tools, and you can find them in our strainers & sieves collection.
Which type of sieve is best for baking?
Fine mesh sieves are the best choice for baking as they ensure dry ingredients are light, airy, and clump-free. This helps achieve consistent results in cakes, pastries, and breads. JB Prince offers high-quality baking sieves trusted by professionals.
Can I use fine mesh strainers for sauces?
Yes, fine mesh strainers are ideal for creating smooth, velvety sauces by removing lumps and impurities. They’re also great for straining stocks and custards. Explore our fine mesh strainers for professional results.
What size sieve is ideal for pastry chefs?
Pastry chefs often prefer medium to large sieves to handle bulk ingredients efficiently. Smaller sieves, however, are useful for dusting sugar or cocoa over desserts. Our sieves collection includes options for both baking and finishing touches.
