xOverview
HIC Kitchen’s Chinois Fine-Mesh Cone Sieve is designed to lift the texture of sauces, soups, and purées from rustic to refined. The conical mesh works to separate liquids from solids, helping you achieve a silky, restaurant-like consistency without paddling through lumps.
Professional-grade materials and size
Crafted from 18/8 stainless steel, this sieve resists rust and stands up to busy kitchen use. It measures approximately 17.5 inches long (including the handle), 8 inches deep, and 7 inches in diameter. The fine mesh features 30 holes per square inch, empowering liquids to flow freely while retaining skins, seeds, and fibrous pulp for a smooth finish. A solid frame and a helper hook provide stability for one-handed use when straining into bowls or pots.
