A strainer can just like its sibling, the colander, be used to pour away the water after boiling your commodity, and it can with advantage be used when boiling smaller grains or seeds such as for example quinoa or couscous.
A strainer is practical when you want to make jam or lemonade and want to avoid getting pieces of fruit or berries in the mix. Strainers are also helpful when preparing purees of different kinds and can be found in models with a practical double mesh that ensures that you will get a really nice and smooth puree. For you who plan on using your strainer for preparing purees, we recommend a stainless strainer since they can be washed in the dishwasher after usage.
