Funnels, Strainers, Sieves & Shakers

This is a straightforward stainless steel dredger from Vogue, designed for controlled dispensing of fine dry ingredients such as flour, icing sugar, cocoa powder, and ground seasoning. The fine 2mm hole pattern gives a consistent, even distribution with each shake, which matters when you need a uniform dusting rather than a heavy dump of product.

In a working kitchen, dredgers like this earn their keep at the pastry section, the garnish station, and anywhere a chef needs to apply a fine, even coating quickly during service. The stainless steel construction keeps it hygienic and easy to clean — a quick rinse or a run through a glass washer is usually all that's needed. At 100g it sits comfortably in the hand without fatigue during repeated use.

• Fine 2mm holes for even, controlled distribution of dry ingredients
• Stainless steel body is hygienic, durable, and easy to maintain
• Suitable for flour, icing sugar, cocoa, seasoning, and similar fine products
• Lightweight enough for repeated use during busy service periods
• 275ml capacity suits prep and service use without constant refilling

There's little in the way of installation considerations here — it's a hand tool. The main practical point is matching the dredger to your ingredient. The 2mm hole size is suited to fine, free-flowing powders. Coarser ingredients or those prone to clumping may not flow as freely, so it's worth keeping that in mind when choosing between fine and coarse dredger options.

This dredger is well suited to small to medium operations — bakeries, café kitchens, pastry sections, and general prep areas where a reliable, no-fuss dispensing tool is needed. If your volume demands mean you're refilling constantly, a larger-capacity dredger may be a more practical choice.

If you're unsure which dredger size or hole grade suits your specific use, we're happy to point you in the right direction.

The Vogue 275ml coarse dredger is a straightforward stainless steel shaker designed for dispensing flour, coarse sugar, salt, or seasoning in a commercial kitchen environment. The 4mm holes produce a coarser, more open flow than a fine dredger, making it well suited to applications where a heavier or less uniform dusting is needed — coating surfaces before rolling, seasoning protein, or applying sugar to baked goods prior to finishing.

Stainless steel construction keeps it practical in a busy kitchen: it resists corrosion, tolerates regular dishwasher cycles, and holds up to the general wear of a working pass or prep station. The 275ml capacity is a useful working size — enough to see through a prep session without constant refilling, without being so large it becomes unwieldy during service.

• Coarse 4mm holes for a heavier, open flow of dry ingredients
• Stainless steel body withstands daily commercial use and repeated washing
• Compact 275ml size suits prep benches and pass use without taking up excess space
• Suitable for flour, coarse sugar, salt, and dry seasoning applications

It is worth noting that the coarse grade is not appropriate where a fine, even dust is needed — for icing sugar, cocoa, or fine seasoning, a fine-grade dredger with smaller holes would be the better choice. For kitchens with high-volume pastry or bakery output, having several dredgers dedicated to individual ingredients avoids cross-contamination and speeds up workflow.

This dredger suits most commercial kitchen settings — from café and bistro to contract catering and pub kitchens — where a reliable, easy-to-clean shaker for coarse dry ingredients is needed as part of everyday prep or service.

If you are unsure whether the coarse or fine grade is right for your specific use, our team is happy to help you choose correctly.

This Vogue dredger is a straightforward stainless steel shaker with a fine wire gauze top, designed for controlled dispensing of dry powders such as flour, icing sugar, cocoa powder, and powdered spices. It holds 275ml — a practical working capacity for pastry sections, hot sections, and pass areas that need a reliable shaker close to hand.

In a busy kitchen environment, a dredger like this earns its place through consistent, even distribution. The fine mesh gauze prevents clumping and delivers a uniform dusting, which matters when finishing plated desserts, flouring a work surface quickly during service, or seasoning with ground spice blends. Stainless steel construction means it handles the knocks and moisture of a working kitchen without corroding or degrading over time.

• Even powder distribution through fine wire gauze top
• Stainless steel body resists corrosion and daily wear
• Compact size suits pass areas, prep benches, and pastry sections
• Suitable for flour, icing sugar, cocoa, and ground spices
• Easy to refill and rinse between uses during service

There are no installation requirements — this is a hand-held tool. It is worth noting that the fine mesh is suited to finely milled powders; coarser spice blends or anything with a granular texture may not flow freely through the gauze. If your kitchen works with a range of powder types at varying grades, it is worth keeping more than one dredger in rotation.

This dredger is well suited to small independent kitchens, hotel pastry sections, café prep areas, and anywhere a reliable, everyday shaker is needed at low cost. If you dust at high volume or need a larger capacity, heavier alternatives are available in the range.

If you are unsure which size or mesh grade suits your kitchen's needs, we are happy to help you choose correctly.

The Kilner Stainless Steel Strainer Funnel is a simple, practical tool for transferring liquids, infusions, and semi-liquid preparations into narrow-neck bottles and jars. The removable straining disc sits within the funnel body and filters out fruit seeds, fine grains, pulp, and other solids as the liquid passes through, removing the need for a separate sieve at the bottling stage.

It is well suited to smaller-scale prep tasks: portioning homemade cordials, infused oils, fruit syrups, or batch-prepared juices into storage vessels before service. The stainless steel construction is practical in a professional environment — it is straightforward to clean, does not retain odours, and holds up well to regular use and the rigours of a commercial dishwasher.

A few things worth bearing in mind: this is a smallware item suited to light, intermittent use rather than high-volume bottling operations. The straining disc is effective for general filtering but is not a substitute for fine cheesecloth or specialist filtering equipment where a very clear, sediment-free result is required.

This funnel will suit cafés, small restaurant kitchens, bakeries, and preservation or condiment producers working at modest volumes. If your operation involves frequent, large-batch filling or finer filtration requirements, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or finer-mesh solution would be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this is the right tool for your specific prep workflow, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Matfer Bourgeat 8" chinois is a conical strainer designed for passing sauces, stocks, soups, and purees to a smooth, consistent finish. It is a standard piece of brigade kit used across professional kitchens where fine straining is a routine part of service preparation.

In a working kitchen environment, the one-piece Exoglass handle is a practical advantage. Exoglass is a glass-fibre reinforced material that remains stable across a wide temperature range, resists heat transfer to the hand, and does not corrode, warp, or absorb odours over time. The two supporting hooks allow the chinois to sit securely across a pot or container during straining, keeping both hands free for ladling — a small detail that matters when working quickly on a busy pass.

Operationally, this strainer offers a few clear advantages over pressed-steel or wooden-handled alternatives:

• Exoglass handle is dishwasher-safe and holds up to repeated high-temperature cleaning cycles
• Non-porous material does not harbour bacteria or absorb flavours between uses
• Single-piece construction eliminates the rivet joints where traditional chinois handles typically fail
• Lightweight enough for extended use without fatigue during high-volume prep

There are no electrical or installation requirements — this is a hand tool. The 8" bowl diameter suits most standard stockpots and bain-marie containers. For operations processing very large batch volumes, a larger diameter model may offer better throughput and reduce the number of passes required.

This chinois is well suited to any professional kitchen where sauce work, stock reduction, or fine straining forms part of the daily routine — from hotel kitchens and restaurant brigades through to contract catering and production environments. It is a reliable everyday tool rather than an occasional-use item, and the Matfer Bourgeat build quality reflects that expectation.
