Craft Kitchen 3-in Mesh Strainer with Black Triple Rivet Handle

I love this size strainer and it is made with fine mesh as I use to sift over food when making gravy. i have used this as much simpler than trying to use a big sifter. I have always done this for a long time and I needed a new replacement and this is what I like. I have told my friends for years to use this method as it works out very well. This product the mesh was moldable so I believe it will last a long time.

I got this to have since I have a larger hand held mesh strainer and for some things I thought it would be good to have a smaller one on hand just in case. I am surprised at the quality since many products are being made quite cheaply these days. I have used it for sifting powder sugar, fishing out tea leaves when the tea bag broke and sifting spices and powders. It works very well and I'm sure in time it will be used for other things.

My wife uses this to sift powdered sugar onto the various desserts she bakes. It is well constructed, and for a strainer, it's fairly easy to clean. I recommend it, especially for the low price. I would say it's definitely comparable to more expensive models.

I've been wanting a small mesh strainer for a while now, and this one is great. It's sturdy and just perfect for my sugar and cocoa powder. I feel like a chef decorating my deserts with it. Even my diet banana pancakes look fancy now. I'm happy with this product.

I have used this strainer for multiple things. Loose leaf tea, decorating cookies with powdered sugar, removing eggs from boiling water so they don't break, I also used it to remove chicken bits after boiling a whole chicken and wanting to use the broth. It is dishwasher safe, always a plus I'm book. It's pretty sturdy so far, it's held up to everything. I like the size, it's been pretty convenient to have. It has a sturdy loop to keep it stable on bowls or to hang it.

I got this little strainer for two main reasons, although I'm sure it has more uses. First is to strain out seeds when I'm juicing citrus. I like to juice lemons to drink when I have a cold, and this makes it way easier. I can just set the strainer over the top of the cup and I don't have to worry about seeds getting in the drink. The second thing I use this for is for dusting the top of desserts. I took pictures of my using it to dust a parfait with cocoa powder, and you can see the size of the mesh lets just enough powder through to make it look really nice. The mesh is stiff and strong, so it holds its form rather than bending when it's set down. The handle also seems sturdy, although I haven't subjected it to much stress. I haven't had any trouble cleaning it, either, so overall I'm really happy. It suits my needs just perfectly.

I have a small assortment of strainers that my husband and I use to strain excess water out of vegetable cans. I don't really care what I size I use, but he likes the big ones. We need some more, at least if I don't want to be constantly washing them. I got this not quite sure it it's what would work for us, but it sounded like it would. It barely does. The size is okay for me. It will not be big enough for how he likes to pour the liquid out. Know your sizing and what you are looking for. Obviously, it's easier to guess size when you can hold it in your hand instead of guessing by the measurements it gives... in this case 3 inch. The rim is also a bit thick, so that takes away from the actual strainer part. It seems like nice quality though and not flimsy. I like how dense the little hook at the end is as well. It does not seem cheap at all. It is better made than most. But you don't have a lot of straining surface. The strainer is the mesh type, just like most and will get particles stuck to it at times. Overall good product. Difficult to guess the size and there's not a lot of mesh on this. I'd recommend it if you know it's the size you want/need.

The CraftKitchen 3" strainer is a nice quality made kitchen utensil. It has a tab on the end to hold onto cup or pot. There is a hanging hole on the end if needed. The handle is super nice however it isn't balanced and is very heavy and will not stay on top of cup or bowl without tipping so you have to hold the strainer as well as the hot water for tea or coffee; this is why I gave it 4 stars (see pictures). I do not recommend it for regular grind coffee as many of the particles go through the strainer. It would be best to use it for loose tea. It is dishwasher safe and the strainer itself is very rigid and seems like it will last a long time.

Nice little strainer when you need to something smaller for say sprinkling power sugar on a treat or as they list using it for straining tea into a cup...with it fitting perfectly on most normal size coffee mugs. The strainer is made of steel but does seem to have a finish on it to help with rust so should hold up over the years. It does have a lifetime warranty but no information on how one would go about claiming the warranty as the marketing cardboard says very little, so the lifetime warranty feels more like a marketing blurb. Unfortunately, I don't like where it is made, companies need find more US trade friendly manufacturing countries and I know for many this is important which is why I mentioned it

No real review. I bought it by accident. I needed a ‘ball,' actually, which encases the Loose Tea Leaves. I am give/sending it back, when I get a chance.
