Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required; these sieves are ready for immediate use upon unboxing. To maintain the integrity of the stainless steel mesh, it is recommended to wash the sieves by hand in warm, soapy water shortly after use to prevent debris from hardening in the mesh. While the materials are rust-resistant, avoiding prolonged submersion in water will keep the finish looking new for longer. Ensure the sieves are completely dry before storing them in a cupboard to prevent moisture buildup.
