Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the strainer, simply place it securely over your desired container. If you are straining hot liquids, ensure the bowl or pot is stable to prevent tipping. After use, rinse the strainer immediately under warm running water to prevent food particles from drying in the mesh. For a deep clean, use a soft-bristled nylon brush to clear the mesh from both sides. This tool is generally dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the fine mesh over time.
