Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Bouillon Strainer 255mm

The Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Bouillon Strainer is a professional-grade conical strainer designed for filtering stocks, sauces, and bouillons in commercial kitchen environments. It combines a triple-layer stainless steel mesh cone with a heat-resistant Exoglass handle — a glass-fibre reinforced composite material that Matfer Bourgeat developed specifically for professional kitchen use.

In a working kitchen, the quality of a strainer becomes apparent under pressure. The triple-layer mesh construction produces a finer, cleaner filtration than a standard single-mesh chinois, which matters when clarity is important in finished stocks, consommés, or fine sauces. The mesh holds its shape under repeated heavy use and does not distort when pressed firmly with a ladle or pestle. The Exoglass handle stays cool and offers a secure, comfortable grip even when handling large volumes of hot liquid.

From a practical standpoint, this strainer offers a number of advantages for professional kitchens:

• Triple-layer mesh delivers finer filtration and cleaner clarity in finished stocks and sauces
• Exoglass handle is heat-resistant, dishwasher-safe, and will not corrode or splinter
• Robust construction holds up to daily repeated use in high-volume production kitchens
• Stainless steel mesh resists staining and is straightforward to clean thoroughly
• Lightweight enough at under 700g for comfortable single-handed use during service

There are no installation requirements — this is a hand-held utensil. It is suitable for hook or rail storage and is compatible with standard commercial dishwashers. The 255mm mesh diameter makes it well suited to medium-batch production work. For very high-volume sauce or stock operations, a larger-diameter strainer may offer a more practical throughput.

This strainer is a reliable choice for professional kitchens where sauce and stock work is a regular part of the operation — restaurant kitchens, hotel production areas, and catering operations where consistency and hygiene in filtration matter.
