New Star Foodservice 34257 18/8 Stainless Steel China Cap Strainer, 8-Inch, Fine Mesh

Many uses around the kitchen.

I’ve started making several different kinds of bone broth. And so I needed some thing that would be a high capacity strainer. I ordered this and even though it’s a little larger than I need it works beautifully and I’m able to get the results that I want and it really strains the broth beautifully.

This was well made for a good price. The holes are evenly spaced and the mesh is thick and sturdy. It’s big enough to b used for large quantities.

Love it for straining stock. Fits perfect on top of a one gallon pitcher

I cook a lot and this is great for staining large amounts.

My husband has blasted through many of the simple wire mesh strainers when he cleans small car parts in the media-blast so I got him this. From my restaurant days, I remembered how sturdy these "china caps" were and this doesn't disappoint at all! Super sturdy, well-made, heavy duty. It seems expensive but I'll never have to buy him another one. Unless you have a large kitchen or a restaurant, this is big and storage would be a problem, but for the garage - excellent.

I got the 12 inch diameter model... and before you order this, I would suggest measuring your pots to make sure you need something this big because it is huge! So big that I have to hand wash it because it's too tall to fit in my dishwasher, which is no big deal, but I thought you should know. That being said, it is built very well and I have no doubt that it will last me for many many years. Recommended.

This thing is a monster. It is so large I can’t store it in kitchen due to height. This is fine I don’t plan to use this daily, but if I were to buy again I would get a smaller one. I don’t even need the capacity. It was on sale, now I know why. Does not take away from the high quality build, just my own fault.
