De Buyer Stainless Steel Chinese Strainer

The De Buyer Stainless Steel Chinese Strainer is an incredibly effective kitchen aid. Perfect for use in the kitchen, this cone-shaped chinese strainer is ideal for making sauce and soup stocks, for straining all kinds of broths, especially fish broth, or for achieving a very fine and smooth texture, free of lumps, in your vegetable purees or in both sweet and savory coulis and creams. Made of stainless steel, its finely perforated walls allow liquid to pass through without leaving any trace of impurities or solids.

The use of the chinois strainer is perfectly complemented by the Beechwood Pestle from De Buyer. This conical pusher allows you to move the food inside the chinese strainer, reaching the bottom so nothing is wasted. It’s a perfect aid for pressing to extract every last drop of juice, ensuring maximum flavor and yield.

The strainer is entirely made of 18/8 stainless steel, designed for intensive use, and boasts high resistance to deformation. The arrangement of the 1.5 mm diameter perforations is designed to achieve optimal results, ensuring maximum efficiency in filtration.

The welded handle is made of stainless steel and allows for an ergonomic grip, facilitating its use and handling. It features a hole in the handle for hanging storage, freeing up space in drawers or cabinets.

At the end, the strainer has a hook that allows it to be placed securely and stably over any container, preventing spills. Additionally, it makes it easier to use without having to hold it, allowing you to keep your hands free to pour liquid into the strainer and use the pestle to stir and press the contents easily.

The chinois strainer pairs well with the Beechwood Pestle from De Buyer, which you can find here.

How to Use the Chinese Strainer

1. Place the strainer over a container, ensuring it is high enough for the strainer to fit and remain stable.
2. If you want to strain fish broth, for example, slowly pour in both the liquid and the remaining fish, seafood, and vegetables you used to make the broth. The liquid will filter through easily, falling into the container.
3. Use the pestle to press the solids. Ideally, move it in circles, pressing against the walls of the strainer. This way, you can completely extract the broth and juices from the fish and vegetables without the solids or impurities falling into the container.
4. Once all the liquid has drained, remove any remaining solids from the strainer and wash it by hand or in the dishwasher.
