Review on Efficient and Easy-to-Use 3-Cup Stainless Steel Flour Sifter by Mrs. Anderson’s Baking by Jeff Young

I first bought a squeeze handle colander thinking it was a brilliant idea. Instead, it was like practicing the Captains Of Crush move. Okay, that's an exaggeration, but that's how it felt psychologically. We'd do dozens of push-ups before eating a miserable cup of flour. So it was cathartic when I threw it in the trash - it was so bad. Instead I bought these. Compared to a squeeze handle colander, this colander works much better. It's easy to turn the handle and sift the flour. Although this is a large 5-cup strainer, I find it best to put in a maximum of 1.5 cups of flour at a time. I think it will be easier to sift because if you use too much the flour can compact, making the handle harder to turn (just a guess). Some of the flour is on the edges that the turning mechanism cannot reach. , but a few small sideways shakes will push this flour into the larger sifting area. Also, don't turn the knob too fast. The first time I used it, I turned it too fast and the flour spilled out at the top. That's another reason why I wouldn't sleep too much. It has a fairly wide base and I wish it had a bottom lid so I can put flour in the colander without having to balance the colander over the bowl. Time. But overall we are very happy with this sieve. Caveat: I'm not a seasoned baker, all of which is true of my entire flour sifting history.
