Amazon.com Review

Great bakers get that tender, delicate texture in their cakes and coffeecakes by carefully measuring and sifting the flour and dry ingredients. To make sure cakes are melt-in-your-mouth good, try this well-designed sifter from Amco. Its 5-cup capacity handles dry ingredients for even a large, three-layer cake, and the heavy-weight stainless-steel construction and shiny, streamlined design add a modern sensibility to a traditional baking tool.

With a spring-action hand trigger, this sifter can be squeezed with one hand or shaken side to side with both hands to evenly distribute ingredients through the fine mesh screens. If you're new to sifting, be sure to sift flour and ingredients before measuring to achieve the best results; sift onto waxed or parchment paper, and then measure the required amounts. The sifter is dishwasher-safe, but to make sure there's no build-up of ingredients inside the sifter, hand wash in hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Known for manufacturing innovative tools and gadgets for home cooks, Amco scores a hit with this professional-weight, high-quality contemporary take on a classic sifter. --Emily Wolf

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for what you need, August 11, 2000

This is a great sifter for all your cooking needs. I have only one thing against it(the reason it has 4 not 5 sars). The spring is too strong in the handle. If you use this much you will either be very tired or have forearms like Popeye!! Still over all a good sifter.

I've used this sifter now for nine years and it is absolutely fabulous! It hasn't the first sign of rust at all after all those years of use, tossing it into the dishwasher, etc. I cannot recommend it enough. It's easy to use, quite powerful, and the flour, etc. is sifted before you know it. It has such a large capacity that it makes the job a ton smoother. Highly, highly recommend!

I do not like this sifter at all because it starts out sifting while using the spring action handle and then it stops sifting after a few pulls and you end up having to shake the sifter to get the flour out. Now I see why it's up as a clearance item. Don't waste your money if you are buying it for its intended purpose. You might get by with doing a cup, but no way will it do more without shaking it and hitting it against your other hand. This one was a let down. I ended up ordering the hand cranking kind because I know they work pretty good.
