Review on ๐Ÿฒ Enhance Your Culinary Skills with the New Star Foodservice 42566 3-Piece Stainless Steel China Cap Strainer Set by Seth Torres

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not as good as hoped, but it works.

My wife uses chinoa (I call it a strainer, but oh well) quite a bit because she grinds apples for her wonderful applesauce. The one we always had on a rivet was broken, and without traveling repairmen, Revain was the only place I could find one. biggest concern. I guess we use ours a lot more than most people, so maybe our usage level contributes to that, but there are a few rough spots inside the screen that cause minor cracks and wear on the maple ram, and the ram doesn't rotate around that Right to actually hit the sides of the screen. I put ours on my lathe to turn the shaft between the handle and the tappet cone until it worked better, but I also had to take a whetstone to my drill press to smooth out the rough metal at the bottom of the strainer. a cone where he actually rubbed the ram off at the top. Fixing the pestle to be food safe was as simple as a bit of sanding and applying a few coats of polyurethane, but I think the manufacturer should take care of that. To be honest I would love to find a handyman or hobbyist to fix our old block. The chiniose and ram have been tuned fairly well over the years, but I also think it's a slightly better design that allows for shape-fitting and slick elements.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Good, but not great
