Price Match

This 18cm sieve combines a stainless steel mesh bowl with a polypropylene frame, making it a practical, lightweight tool for general food preparation tasks. It is the kind of utility item found in most commercial kitchens — straightforward to use, easy to clean, and built to handle the everyday demands of a busy prep area.

In practical kitchen use, it covers the usual range of sieving and straining tasks: sifting flour and dry ingredients, draining smaller quantities of vegetables or pasta, rinsing grains, and passing sauces or purées. The stainless steel mesh holds up well to regular washing and resists the staining that can affect nylon alternatives over time.

  • Stainless steel mesh resists staining and holds its shape with regular use
  • Lightweight polypropylene frame is comfortable to handle during service
  • Suitable for both dry sieving and light liquid straining tasks
  • Easy to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher
  • A practical size for most standard prep tasks without taking up bench space

It is worth noting that this is a general-purpose prep sieve rather than a heavy-duty production tool. For high-volume sauce work or fine-mesh applications, a purpose-built conical strainer or drum sieve would be more appropriate. As a day-to-day utility item, however, it is well suited to most catering environments from small cafés to larger kitchen prep sections.

If you are fitting out a prep area and unsure which sizes or types of sieves and strainers best suit your menu and service volume, we are happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently asked questions

Is this sieve suitable for passing sauces as well as dry ingredients?

It will handle light sauce straining and rinsing tasks reasonably well, but the mesh gauge is designed for general-purpose use rather than fine sauce work. For kitchens regularly passing smooth purées or fine stocks, a conical strainer with a finer mesh would give better results.

Can this be put through a commercial dishwasher?

Yes, the stainless steel mesh and polypropylene frame are both suited to commercial dishwasher cleaning. Rinsing off food residue before loading will help maintain the mesh over time.

How does the 18cm size compare to other options for a busy kitchen?

The 18cm size is practical for most individual-portion and small-batch prep tasks. Kitchens working with larger batch volumes — sifting flour in bulk or draining larger quantities of vegetables — would benefit from a larger diameter sieve alongside this one rather than relying on it alone.
