Buy Ultra Fine Mesh Chinois by Piazza - 8 InchUltra Fine Mesh Chinois by Piazza - 8 Inch Product Description:
- Ultra fine mesh stainless steel
- 8" diameter
- Made in Italy
Product Description
This hefty made mesh chinois does an excellent job of straining out the sediment and aromatics from stocks, bouillons, and fruit purees. Since the cone is less deep - 7 inch instead of the usual 10 or 11 inch - you can use it over a larger variety of pots and bowls. The cone is an uninterrupted flow of beautifully woven ultrafine mesh so dense it could filter cloud wisps out of the sky. The handle, welded to the frame, is a curved sheet of metal encircling a hollow core, giving you a double layer of metal to hold on to, which is more comfortable to grip than the average chinois's long, thin spatulate handle. The bracket under the rim opposite the handle lets you rest the chinois on a pot or bowl. 8 inch in diameter and made of stainless steel. Made in Italy.

Particles get stuck between the 2 mesh layers...
By E. Persson
This is a very high quality, nicely made chinois. I often use it to strain sauces prior to reducing, for a really smooth texture. This is an ultra-fine mesh for sure, but I did not realize that it is a double-layer of mesh when I bought it. What happens is that lots of particles make it though the first layer, but not the second, so after straining stock for example, there are a bunch of pepper bits stuck in between the screens. I can't seem to get them out, and I don't want those things inadvertently flavoring the next sauce I make. So the bottom-line is that I can't effectively clean it after use. So I think I will sell this one, and go back to a single-layer ultra-fine mesh traditional sieve (Williams Sonoma has one).

OUTSTANDING!
By Waves
This is the second and the last chinois I have purchased. The first one was French and rusted. This one is high quality stainless and ultra fine for stocks, sauces etc. It is an amazing addition to my kitchen. I am buying another for my son (who is a chef) and daughter in law.
