CHINOIS WIRE GAUZE HANDLE AND HOOK 220mm

Chinois Wire Gauze Strainer with Handle and Hook 220 mm

A chinois is a cone-shaped strainer with very fine wire gauze, used to get silky smooth sauces, consommes, coulis and custards. This one has a 220 mm top with a handle and a hook, so it can rest on the rim of a pot or container while you work.

The fine gauze catches tiny particles that a perforated strainer lets through, giving the polished, restaurant-quality finish chefs look for in fine dining sauces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a chinois used for?

Getting very smooth sauces, consommes, coulis, custards and purees.

How is it different from a conical strainer?

A chinois uses fine wire gauze rather than perforated metal, so it catches much smaller particles.

How do I push liquid through?

Use a ladle or pestle with a gentle up-and-down action. Do not jab at the mesh, as gauze can tear.

How do I clean it?

Rinse immediately from the outside in, then soak and wash gently. Avoid stiff brushes on the gauze.

How do I store it?

Hang it by the handle or store it in a stand so the mesh is not crushed.
