Reviews for Choice 8" Stainless Steel Reinforced Bouillon / Chinois Strainer

I purchased this strainer to make greek yogurt. I was worried that the strainer would not be fine enough and would allow yogurt to slip through with the whey as it does in a normal mesh strainer, thankfully that is not the case! The mesh on this strainer - while not so fine as a tea strainer - is quite fine given the size. The construction of the metal rings and handle is quite sturdy and I have no worried about it bending or breaking especially given the reinforced basket. It's a little too tall to fit nicely in the 10" china cap strainer stand but it still gets the job done. This strainer holds about 1 gallon of liquid.

It says 8" but i just didn't realize how huge this chinois strainer would be. It is great for straining buckets of stock, ferments, etc. but a bear to store in a small kitchen. It is so useful and sturdy though and the fine mesh snags all the bits you don't want floating around!

Despite it's fine mesh, this chinois had held up to large quantities of chicken carcasses, stone fruits, and raspberry seeds with aplomb, maintaining a rust and gouge free appearance one year into it's use. Maybe just a bit too big for residential use, but I love it!

it's a beast. what more could you ask for? made well, sturdy, great mesh. I'm sold. I like to use mine mostly for juicing :) We've also used it to refine wheat for baking.. who knew?

The reinforced is the way to go. We would constantly but the ones without and they would break at a faster rate. Great to have the reinforcement and they last much longer.

We use this about once a week, so relative to other tools in our kitchen, it doesn't get that much use. It broke in less than 3 months. The wires broke loose gradually.

This strainer overall works great. It can be difficult to clean, but the mesh is very fine and does a great job straining out solid bit.

This strainer is tough and durable and perfect for straining larger capacities. Nothing gets through their tight wired netting. Just one more kitchen utensil that we trust.

These strainers are fantastic. We use them to strain out big items in our soups and broths. They are simply fantastic. They work very well.

This 8" chinois is awesome! I've looked for one like this for a while and this one is perfect. Very sturdy and easy to clean, it won't let anything coarse get through and you're left with a perfectly smooth product.

Exactly what we needed. This chinois is amazing from simply straining small products such as rice, clarifying a variety stocks, or making sure sauces are silky smooth for service.

Good value. It's pretty lightweight, but quite sturdy. It does various jobs in our kitchen from dusting cinnamon to straining soups, etc.

The strainer is fantastic at straining and refining our gravies and stocks. It is a very fine mesh and separates the liquids from solids very well.

Overall this is an effective product and works as designed. The weld on the handle was weak so it eventually broke off. We still use the strainer though and it works well.

Exactly what I needed to strain tea leaves out. The only bad thing is the cone part is a little long so it dips into the liquid if it is anything more than 10 qts in a cambro. Fits my 24 qt cambro perfectly.

This 10 inch reinforced chinois is a perfect fine mesh strainer. It does a great job straining product and sauces and getting out the smaller bits for a smooth sauce.

The 8" Reinforced Bouillon / Chinois Strainer is a solidly made product and seems ideal for a professional kitchen. It may be a bit of over kill for a home kitchen but it certainly up for any task you want to throw at it, i.e. soup straining, jams, etc.

A very good strainer for the price. This is the work horse strainer in y kitchen and gets a good workout every day. It has not lost shape or been bent out from constant use.

This Chinois Strainer is amazing. We use it every day in our bakery and it has held up to thousands of uses and washes. I cannot imagine where we would be without it! It is so easy to clean!

My wife wanted one of these to strain her pot de creme mixture and she couldn't be happier with the results. It does fit in our residential dishwasher with some careful rearranging, which is good because I'm not sure if we could thoroughly clean it without the dishwasher.

This reinforced metal strainer is made of high quality materials. It is very sturdy and durable and has proved to be very easy to clean.

This chinois is just a good or better than any other chinois i've used in the past, including some that were well over a hundred dollars. It is super sturdy and can take a lot of kitchen abuse and still work just fine.

I originally purchased the 10" Reinforced Chinois, only to find that it was much larger than I anticipated. This is a perfect size for fine straining stocks, purees and custards quickly and efficiently.

Made of great quality. We use it to clean and strain the fryers. Helps keep the oil I dryers clean. Price is reasonable. Made sturdy.

I have wanted one of these for a long time i am super happy with the quality and will buy this brand from now on

Very fine chinois for straining our small particles and a good price for the quality and fineness of the mesh. So far mine hasn't dented from usage.

Easy to use strainer. We use this when we make our salad dressing, or when making miso soup. We strain sauces and bonnito flakes and it catches everything in the net!

LOVE IT! Use it daily for a litany of prep tasks. Easy to clean and durable too. If you dont believe me, come to my bar and watch me clean this and bang it around!

great product, sturdy and light at the same time. great for straining pastry cream or soups. you can use a 1 oz ladle to get everything pass through fast ans easy.

Great to use when straining large quantities mainly for places that cook a lot of servings together. Definitely recommended for other companies or people who like to cook for many people!

Bought 3 of these and have gotten great use out of them. Have used them mostly for straining chicken stock. Catches all the little food items very well.

Perfect for makes stock and sauces. So strong...a welcome addition to any kitchen. Was concerned about the size before purchasing, but it ended up being more than enough. Is a lot bigger than you think.

This chinois is very solid and the protective bars are a must-have. Does a great job straining purees and the like. Opening is 8", total length is 18" with the handle. A must have for any kitchen.

Webstautant offers this 8" reinforced chinois strainer for a very affordable price. It it well made, and stands up to the rigors of daily use in our commercial kitchen.

Good product, works well. The handle is good for keeping balance. Not the strongest feel to it but hasn't bent of broken in anyway yet.

Bought this for an amateur kitchen. I make enough stock to justify the purchase, but I was surprised at how helpful this was as an intermediary filter for cold-brew coffee batches. It is a little large for a home kitchen. I throw it on top of the cabinets and that does the trick for now. Handle is sturdy and mesh is of consistent diameter. If you're on edge as a novice, this thing makes filtering stock so much easier.

This bouillon strainer is amazing. It's finely meshed so absolutely nothing seeps thru it. Always very sturdy metal you don't have to worry about it breaking.

You don't realize you need a chinois until you need one. Having a thinner mesh strainer in the kitchen is great for when you're making stocks, soups, sauces - whatever! I use this so much I don't know what I'd do without it.

Simply great! These reinforced bouillon strainers are great! They were selling these things for 75 dollars at our local restaurant depot! We got them for a steal on webstaurant just like everything else!

Wonderful strainer for straining hot vegetables. I wasn't sure whether I would like this, but it is a tough tool that stands up to pushing hot vegetables through it with a wooden Chinois pestle.
