OXO Good Grips 8-Inch Double Rod Strainer

Sturdy and gets the job done! Not too big, not too small.

Very happy with Oxo strainer. No complaints except the price is rather high compared to other strainers. I bought it because I liked the handle better than the others out there.

Love the size and sturdy. Will use a lot.

I have recently started to do alot more baking and also using a deep fryer for cooking turkeys, onion rings, etc. and also frying doughnuts.I am hoping to open a B&B next year and need to try out many different receipes to see the cost involved and also the time required to make them. After all, as in any job, time is money. Another important consideration is how well things pass the taste test. Believe me, my friends are loving it. lolIt came to my attention after needing to strain oil and also flour and 10X sugar that I did not have a versitale strainer. I remember my Grandmother had several and used them often but her's either were to old or "missing".After alot or contemplation over the various strainers available I decided on this one OXO Good Grips 8-Inch Double Rod Strainer. So far it has actually exceeded my expectations.I have used it to strain the oil from the deep fryer and also to sift flour and also confectionary sugar onto Ebelskivers: Danish-Style Filled Pancakes And Other Sweet And Savory Treats for a finishing touch. I can not recommend the Ebelskivers high enough either. They are so light and airy and you can make them for any time of day meal. Do yourself a favor and check them out. Also, if you think you may like them, try the Norpro 3113 Cast-Aluminum Nonstick Aebleskiver Stuffed-Pancake Pan, works great and no mess clean up.Anyways, back to the strainer.It is a double mesh strainer which allows it to be so versitale. Cleaning is a snap by just rinising it in water after use.So, in conclusion, if you are looking for a strainer I recommend this one. Granted it may be a bit pricey but it will definitely replace any need to buy different mesh strainers or for that matter a flour sifter. The size is also ideal because you can do so many things with it without it being way to large or way to small.

Sturdy, seems to be solidly built, and of good quality

Fine mesh great for quinoa, millet teff.. Nothing is perfect but OXO honors their guarantee.

I was very skeptical this would be able to rinse quinoa without some of the quinoa draining out, but it works perfectly! Highly recommend.

OK, listen to me. Every time I use this strainer, and I use it often, I think that I should do a review because I'm so impressed, after 8 years! Do not worry about the price. You won't have to replace it, at least not for a very long time. Seriously, I see no signs of wear. And I most often use it to strain the extra water out of a package of frozen spinach, which means pressing down on the mess quite firmly (I support the underside with my other hand when I do this, though--I'm not stupid). The mesh is still perfect, the finish is great, the rubber handle is fine, everything! And I wash it in the dishwasher every time! And it's a great size for smaller straining jobs (get a bigger one if you want to strain a whole batch of spaghetti or something). And the length of it is perfect to straddle the edges of my sink so it's hands free! If this review sounds too good to be true, just believe me. It's that good, or I wouldn't have bothered to review it 8 years later!
