Stainless Steel Flour Sifter for Baking with Hand Crank - 3 Cup

Works well and seems to be well made. Mesh quality is good and it is easy to operate. I use it weekly for sifting bread flour.

This flour sifter is a wonderful item to have. It is durable and I like the 3-cup size. Although some flour leaked out the side where the hand crank is, it was not enough for me to be concerned about. It was just a little and it did not make a difference when it came to the outcome of my recipe. For me, it was worth the money.

I may not live the most exciting life, but this sifter pushed me a long way in the right direction. A few short weeks ago, one of my wife's boyfriends' girlfriends (don't overthink it) challenged me to a chocolate lava cake baking competition. Me of all people, one of the most esteemed chocolate lava cake bakers I know. My world was shattered. Who would dare! There was only one thing to do: I had to step up my lava cake game. Traditionally, when I bake things, I bake them for myself and I have very close to no standards for baking qualities. The whole reason I bake lava cakes in the first place is because (1) I am completely insensitive to baking quality, which can be a problem since I was challenged by an experienced baker and (2) a bit of (trigger warning: cultural appropriation) "nekojita" or "cat tongue" which my dear wikitionary describes as "someone who is incapable of drinking or eating anything hot due to having an overly sensitive tongue" so I usually end up just eating uncooked batter and praying to the many gods of infectious diseases to spare me. Successful so far on that front by the way, but I digress. Consequently, I've generally used an approach of "dump everything in a bowl and stir it until losing interest" which hadn't produced the most, shall we say, appetizing confectures. The biggest problem, in the words of my lovely and supportive spouse, is that little tiny beads of powdered sugar form in the recipe producing pockets of unpleasantly concentrated sweetness. Well we can't have that. No way, no how, not me and NOT just before a competition. So I scoured the globe (or at least 3 kitchen stores at the local mall) for a sifter that could meet my lofty standards, if such a sifter existed. I was able to find a variety of contraptions of all shapes, sizes, types and colors but, personally, I had two main criteria. First, I wanted a sifter with a hand crank. Apparently there are these new-fangled devices which can sift by squeezing on the handle with a serious of tedious, untrustworthy and critically difficult to clean moving parts sheathed beneath a false floor of metallic mesh. Not for me! I think it's important to be able to quickly and easily clean your sifter properly. The aforementioned loving and supportive spouse has raised some concerns about my dish-washing capabilities in the past so this was a must. Secondly, I wanted a sifter with measurements on the sides. Now for high precision baking you're supposed to do all kinds of high precision measurements and, when appropriate, I am prepared to take such measures. But sometimes a friend is coming over with little advance warning and I have to produce one of my much ballyhooed desserts lest I face the soul-crushing reality that all forms of human contact I presently enjoy are predicated on the notion that I will provide tastey (sic) treats for guests and I sacrifice some precision for speed (and fewer ugly dishes in the sink). This sifter is the best of all possible worlds. Quick and easy to use, quick and easy to clean, surprisingly good lucking, and offered at a price competitive with many of the others I was looking at in stores even after including shipping. While I'm not much of a connoisseur of baking goods, I have to say that to the best of my understanding what a sifter can and should be, the Bellemain Stainless Steel 3 Cup Sifter is the very stuff that dreams are made of. At least my dreams, it's the stuff of nightmares for my challenger in the bake-off. NOTE: It is totally okay to end a sentence with the word "of" now that conversational English has invented for itself some phrasal verbs.

This sifter is fine and gets the job done, BUT it’s not the heavier metal sifter of my youth. I’m not sure if those old type of sifters still exist, but I’d love to find one! That said, however, this one does get the job done even though it feels a little loosey goosey.

Just the right size, and well made

One of the best investments for my hand health. Hand sifting with the traditional strainer was giving me hand cramps!! The rotary hand crank is amazing. It works so quickly compared to hand sifting. I like this so much I purchased a second. Keeping one for just flour, the other for flour, sugar, cocoa powder, confectionery sugar, etc.

Great sturdy

I recently started volunteering baking cakes for charity so I’m baking a lot more. I always used to sift with a fine mesh sieve but that’s just not practical for projects - this works great to sift flour and confectioners sugar 3 cups at a time. I like that I can put my bowl on a scale and get a precise amount as I sift. It’s easy to clean (by hand) and easy to crank. I just started using it so hopefully it lasts a while.

Works well but little bit flimsy

Seems well made and quickly sifted flour. Good size, holds up to 3 cups. Very pleased with it.

Very useful and easy to use. I wish it came with a bottom top.
