Product Information
Full details
The Dexam 18cm Sieve is designed for home bakers and cooks who require a reliable, versatile tool for sifting dry ingredients and straining liquids. Its primary strength lies in its fine wire mesh and sturdy construction, which ensures consistent results in baking and food preparation. While it excels at general kitchen tasks, users should note that the 18cm size is best suited for small to medium-batch tasks, meaning it may require multiple passes for very large industrial-scale volume requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for the Dexam Sieve; it is ready to use immediately upon removal from packaging. It is compatible with almost all standard kitchen mixing bowls and saucepans due to its neutral 18cm diameter and stabilizing lip.
For care and maintenance, it is recommended to rinse the sieve under warm running water immediately after use to prevent residue from drying in the mesh. Although it is dishwasher safe, placing it in the top rack can help prolong the lifespan of the wire structure. Avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the mesh wires.
