3.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT a Chinois - it is a China Cap. Don't be fooled., March 5, 2009

Not a mesh chinois at all. It's a China cap; a solid metal cone with holes stamped into it.

It's well made, solid, and beautiful. Good piece of equipment.

But don't be fooled by the picture - I think it's the low resolution of the photo that makes it look like this has a mesh screen, like a chinois.

But it doesn't.

Both the stand and the wooden "pusher" are great. The holes are too large for what I was originally intending to use the chinois for, which was making seedless raspberry jam, but I will still use it for other recipes. I probably would not have bought it if I could have seen a good picture of the holes.

2.0 out of 5 stars not quite right, August 6, 2007

This would have worked perfectly if the strainer holes were a little smaller. I used mine to make tomato juice and there was a little too much pulp caused by the holes being just a tad too big.
