Matfer 17360 Exoglass Bouillon Strainer Review

This is a really good Shinua. It's solid (despite the plastic handle/rim), is okay, and stretches just as you would expect. Two things to note: 1. He's really big. None of my 8 or 12 liter pots can hold it up. (The bars around the top of the cone touch the bottom of the pan long before the hooks around the rim of the strainer can reach the rim of the pan.) The same goes for my largest bowls. That means I'm pretty much holding it in my hands (which can be tedious and almost impossible when…

Mafter is a French brand that makes and sells a lot of great cookware. Their products aren't cheap, but they're worth it. I've used a few Shinua at work and own a Mafter and another cheaper nameless stainless steel for home use. Comparing a cheaper car to a Matfer is like comparing a Yugo to a Rolls Royce. Mafter feels so good in your hands that you end up just looking for an excuse to use it. I also found a mushroom-shaped pestle (at a local grocery store) that fits almost snugly into the…

The quality of the materials gives this Matfer product a 5-star value for money. For many years I have been using Chinese cap fine-mesh filters to speed up the clarification process of raw materials. It's only the second I've had to buy in 25 years. This mesh absorbs the stress and flexing that occurs when solids are pushed against it to force liquid through. Heavy gauge wire around mesh body provides protection from excessive bending. They do not replace the usual wire stand as they do not…

Excellent, high quality, durable Chinese version with a very fine mesh. Strong enough to withstand the preparation of big-boned veal stock and thin enough to create a beautiful, translucent, gem-colored jelly. Two hooks give it the long-awaited stability when moving the contents of bulky pots. Its size can be an issue when finding a suitable container for collecting screened liquids, as other reviewers noted. After doing a little research I bought an 8 liter round polycarbonate Cambro container

I've wanted this for my homemade organic chicken broth for a long time but was hesitant because of the price but now when I make my own Greek yogurt it pays off, it works just as well as cheese clothes but this seconds is not enough for many applications. I've read that some people think it won't work with Greek yogurt because it's dehydrating. Let me tell you that there are a few things to consider. First, the consistency of your yogurt should be almost the same as the one you buy at the…

I use it at least once a week. I mainly use it to strain homemade yogurt and occasionally chicken broth. This is a very fine sieve. Very little yogurt is sifted along with the whey. I turn a gallon of milk into yogurt. This screen must be filled twice for the entire batch. I usually let it strain 1/4, which takes about 45-60 minutes when the yogurt is fresh out of the preheated oven. It turns out about 2.5-3 liters of yogurt. If you reduce it too much, you end up with dry, thick yogurt…
