Yeah, it is a little rinky dink , but it does the job, and that is what counts. The part I find most amazing is about this transaction is that it made the trip from Amazon without getting smashed. The packing consisted of a bag and the sifter. Nothing else. And there was a sticker on the bag that was applied by the post office indicating that the bag had been resealed, so all around the packing was just not good. Still, somehow, it made the trip intact.

I just made "mashed", "creamed" potatoes using this for the final sieve. One of the best potato dishes I have ever had. Putting the potatoes through this fine mesh and then finishing off with butter and cream resulted in pure heaven. Something this simple and easy to use makes an enormous difference. Following this success, I boiled some eggs and pressed them through a regular strainer, then this mesh for the final. Again, heaven. My deviled eggs are going to impress everyone at the family 4th of July picnic. Even my bitch of a sister-in-law. Revenge at last!

I was looking to replace an antique sifter and didn't think I could find one like it, until i found this! The only difference is the little wooden detail on the handle but that makes it even cuter. It works perfectly and I'm thrilled that i found it.

Very disappointed... this is the second sifter I've purchased from Amazon that arrived dented. Poor packaging and product flimsiness was the problem with the first one. But this one is much sturdier and was in a box that should have protected it... so I can only assume that Amazon negligently/knowingly/intentionally sent me a damaged product. Thanks guys! Fortunately it is still usable so I'm not going to hassle to return it, but I sure do feel burned. ☹️

This is a good medium-large size sifter. It works as it should but does take a while to properly clean.

Works just as it should. Should have had one of these years ago, always used a sieve but this is way easier to use. I find this is just the right size for most of the recipes I use, wouldn’t want it any smaller and any bigger and it gets cumbersome to store. Seems to be a well make sifter and is easy to use. The wire that feeds the flour through the screen makes good surface contact so everything gets worked through that can go through. I would recommend this sifter. I am very happy with it.

I like everything about this product. I went to test it out when I first got it, just to see if it was an improvement on my old sifter and I ended up sifting 800g of almond flour because it was just too easy to use. It has turned something which I previously considered to be a chore into a rather pleasant experience!

Great product. Inside of handle very sharp. Picked it up and sliced my finger, requiring stern strips. Handle with care.

I first purchased a squeeze handle type of sifter, thinking that it was an ingenious idea. Instead, it felt like a Captains Of Crush hand gripper workout. OK, that is an exaggeration, but that was how it felt psychologically. We would squeeze dozens of times before getting through 1 measly cup of flour. So it was cathartic when I threw that one into the trash -- it was that bad.I purchased this one instead. Compared to the squeeze handle type, this sifter works so much better. It is easy to turn the handle and sift the flour. However, even though it is a large 5 cup sifter, I feel that it is better to put at most 1.5 cups of flour at a time. It will be easier to sift, I guess because if you use too much, the flour may start to pack down making the handle harder to turn (just a guess).Some flour will be on the edges which cannot be reached by the turning mechanism, but a few small lateral shakes will push that flour into the large sifting area.Also, do not turn the handle too quickly. The first time I used it, I turned it too quickly and flour spilled out of the top. That's another reason why I wouldn't fill too much.This does have a pretty wide footprint and I sort of wish it had a bottom lid so that I could add flour into the sifter without having to balance the sifter over the bowl at the same time. But overall, we are very pleased with this sifter. Caveat: I am not an experienced baker, everything above encompasses my full history of sifting flour.

I'm not sure how to evaluate flour sifters, as I'm pretty new to the baking from scratch game.So far I've bought the occasional cake mix, followed the easy instructions, and baked fairly nice basic cakes.I recently came across a number of articles that pointed out how easy it was to bake from scratch - flour, baking soda, butter, sugar, salt, eggs, vanilla - on recipes such as "Basic 1-2-3-4 cake" and "Basic Vanilla Cake". This made me think we can do better than chomp up the preservatives that go into the cake mixes - specially since pretty much everything is readily stocked in our kitchen, all the time.I came across - and bought - a large bottle of vanilla extract from one of our visits to the local Costco. Now I was getting vested into the interest of cake making.I have a simple battery powered hand mixer - so the only item I was missing was the sifter. I'm not absolutely sure what it does, as any flour I put in effectively comes out, but perhaps the few pieces of larger particles that cling to the screen once I'm done are what sifting is all about.I usually hand it over to our toddlers. They love turning the handle to make the flour fall down. It's great that this is not exactly delicate and breakable. Also great is the turning handle design rather than the clutch-like mechanism on some others - toddlers would not have the grip strength to press a clutch. Our kids love to take part in the cake making process.Long story short - this works great, cakes come out as expected, and takes hardly a couple of minutes more to make from scratch than use a boxed cake mix.

This is such an awesome sifter. I used to have one that wasn't stainless steel and it had flat rotary blades that would go back and forth over one another as you squeezed the lever on the handle. It rusted badly even without putting it in the dishwasher and the flour would cake up under the blades and in various other places to the point that you couldn't possibly clean it thoroughly. So after a short while all the caked flour(gross) slowed the whole thing down and eventually clogged the blades that you couldn't get to because they were between two mesh strainers. This little device is so amazing. It a simple crank that you turn with total ease and these two metal arches go around and sift your flour. It sifts every last bit of the flour so that when you're done you're really done. There is not one morsel of flour left in it. You just rinse it under the sink faucet and you're done. It's a simple design and it works. It's built quite sturdy and it's gonna last a long time. The large volume it handles is a plus on this one. I LOVE IT!
