AK_Mom4 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Mine had a bit of rust on it and DH took it off with some sandpaper. I take care to never wash it now, so the rust has not showed up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Im actually thinking of tossing my crank sifter and just using my soup-strainer-stainless-mesh-colander thingy. It seems to work just as well with no rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Flour sifting? Surely you know this is absurd. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justLisa Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Heh. It really only comes out during the holidays. I remember my grandmother baking crazy amounts of cakes and cookies and pies and using this sifter to mix up the flour and baking soda and whatnot. Now that I think about it, I guess I don't really *need* it. So now I am staring at both the flour sifter that I wanted to keep AND a nut chopping device and wondering why on earth I still have them. I'm sorry. I actually have one and find it useful You would have to have been there. I was sorta kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I use a mesh strainer. For some reason it gives me greater tactile satisfaction than a canister sifter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pippen Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Flour sifting? Surely you know this is absurd. :D I know it! I use an older version of this battery operated flour sifter and I always pause to reflect on the absurdity of the utensil. http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-140-Battery-Operated-Sifter/dp/B000JWLO6I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351022478&sr=8-1&keywords=norpro+battery+operated+flour+sifter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Like http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Sieve-Rim-Mesh/dp/B0037XH6MM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351021952&sr=8-1&keywords=tamis ? I was looking at one of these based off of one of my google searches. :D My grandmother had one like that. Mine is a regular bowl-shaped strainer.

stripe Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Flour sifting? Surely you know this is absurd. :D ;) There was a thread about this a couple days ago, inoubliable. I prefer the crank sort to the squeeze one, unless you need the one-handed option. I have a big metal mesh strainer but never seem to get it out! I usually avoid sifting and try to wing it with a whisk unless absolutely necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebacabunch Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Wow, I didn't know people still used them. I just aerate and mix dry ingredients with a whisk or use a a metal sieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
