Reviews for Choice 12" Fine China Cap Strainer

I originally purchased this as a "fine" strainer. The holes are large enough to fit the lead of a #2 pencil into (1MM). The exit hole at the bottom is almost 4MM. It does work incredibly well for straining clumps from soup, gravies and sauces but it will not strain like a fine mesh. The construction was far superior to what I expected for the price, fairly heavy duty and I love the pan rest. I have put cheese cloth inside it and it holds 2 quarts of yogurt for straining easily. This is not a tiny strainer. There are some sharp edges on it so be careful washing. All in all I am very happy with it.

Highly recommend for all situations where you need a fine strainer. I have used this strainer too many times to count. It has held up to all my rigorous abuse. Cleans up easy and strainer sauces perfectly.

Great product, great for straining sauce's and for making house made cheese. great price and heavy duty, a kitchen must have. i plan to order more...

This strainer is seems sturdy and made to last. It is considerably more coarse that expected from the description. Because I am happy with the size and construction of the strainer, I'll keep it and use cheese cloth as needed. As usual for this site, the price is right!

Great China Cap for the price. It has held up good. Would highly recommend!

good quality and price point. functions perfectly for our needs. bulk pricing is great. ships quickly arrived in good condition.

The product was great and what I was looking for. The shipping cost was absolutely outrageous and I probably won’t be ordering again from here.

For when you need to strain a large amount of stock ect.

Didn't work for I needed it to. Came undamaged.

Great price

This China cap is durable! It’s design allows it to hold quite a lot of food and it even has a nifty tab on the end that hooks up to most sinks for easy use.

This strainer is durable and sturdy. I will definitely have it for a long time, doesn't seem like it's gonna fall apart on me. The lip on the side makes it perfect

This is the perfect strainer for large quantities of food. It's incredibly durable and great for use with a wooden chinois pestle to strain pastes.

This little strainer is a treasure. It strains whatever you might want to separate, but this year I used it, together with a blender, for tomato sauce. I don't have time to skin and deseed tomatoes but nobody wants that in their sauce. While a powerful blender will be almost good enough, for great sauce it takes that extra step. Food mills junk up, and for me, it ends up not worth the trouble. This year I had and tried this strainer. Why not. It did such a great job on everything else, and while I looked at the machines that process tomatoes, I was not ready to spend that much. Thanks to this inexpensive strainer I didn't even have to think about it any longer. It did a wonderful job straining out the last bit of skin and seed from my blended tomatoes. Quickly, efficiently and it is very easy to clean. This is a must-have basic tool in the kitchen, right along with your knife set.

In addition to making sauces, this also works great as a regular strainer. Construction is sturdy and the handle is strong. This strainer should hold up to many years of use.

Choice 12" Fine China Cap Strainer fits nicely in a 5G food grade pail / ale pale - in this video I used it to strain hot tea - making total of 5G for kombucha and saved me time from fishing out tea bags b4 pouring. nice long handle - and I can also place a finer strainer inside this funnel and use it that way. - happy with purchase so far.

Very good fine chine cap strainer. I am very happy with this purchase for my culinary high school program. Great to use to make fruit jams and demonstrate other culinary techniques.

I took off a star as the item wasn't properly packaged during shipping and it resulted in a large dent in the rim. However, even with the dent, the item worked perfectly when used for straining out the bones during broth making.

This large strainer made filtering my fryer oil at the end of the day a breeze. The large surface area drained quickly and efficiently. Sturdy and should last

The Choice 10 inch fine china strainer is a great quality product. I use to to strain large pots of stock and i love it! It is very large and durable.

Exactly as expected. This is not cheep and lightweight, but it’s also not heavy and too much. Holes are tiny and finished smooth and consistent (hasn’t snagged on cheesecloth or anything I’ve put in it. Handle is spot welded in multiple places and will not break off. It fits across my sink exactly as I envisioned for rinsing, straining, separating whatever I’m working on. Cleans up easily.

Nice strainer. I have the coarse as well and both really help make out BBQ sauces and salad dressings smoother. Have to be gentle to avoid denting them.

The 12" Fine China Cap is great for straining stocks, especially in combination with a Chinois. It is best for removing large items, but the holes are a bit large for fine straining stocks or purees.

Easy to store. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Good price. Shiny. Pretty. Does its job. What more do you want?

These fine china cap strainers are excellent! These strainers are about 3 times the price at restaurant depot. Doesn't make any sense! These strainers a quality! They will last a lifetime.

This cap strainer was delivered on time with no imperfections. It is the best size for what I need when rendering leaf lard. I’m very pleased!

Great cap strainer , we use it for lot of things like washing fruits and vegetables , easy to clean and the price is great .

This 8 inch Fine China Cap Strainer is huge. I didn't expect it to be so large and am pleased with it. The handle is sturdy and it fits well over my pot. This is easy to clean.

The 8" Fine China Cap Strainer is well made and sturdy. It doesn't rust and it is dishwasher safe. It is made to last and is a great addition to any kitchen.

Good when you need to strain smaller products out of a liquid, or even for sifting large quantities of flour. Solid metal design. Easy to clean in dishwasher. Hook on opposite end from handle means I can work hands free instead of having to hold it.

I use this china cap strainer every day and it works perfectly every time. It does not rust and holds alot of fruits and vegetables. It drains perfectly.

Wow. This seems to be very solid and it is large. It works well and I use it when straining stocks. Also great for use with cheesecloth for finer straining of sauces.

This product is a good size for the kitchen. the best part is that the strainers stack nicely on top of each other and they have a loop on the handle to hang. Like all other china caps, cleaning them is a bit of a hassle but other than that, everything is great!

While I know it's not unique to this one, it always annoys me that the very bottom of the china cap doesn't have any perferation to get the last bit through. Other then that, I wish the handle was just a touch longer to make it more stable on top of our largest cambros.

great for small batches of things that you don't need strained super finely. perfect for the first passing of stocks, for example. the handle has a cheap weld and pops off easily but i dont really use it anyway so its not an issue.

we use this to pre strain the fryer oil when draining and cleaning the fryers. Works wekk for this and being all metal is very durable.

This is an ever useful kitchen tool that allows you to be hands free when straining by using the hook and handle to support the china cap over a bucket or in a sink.
