Amazon.com Review

Squeezing the handle on this inexpensive, one-handed flour sifter activates the six-arm sifting mechanism so easily, it's a joy to use. Made of plastic with a steel screen, the 2-1/2-cup sifter is lightweight, durable, dishwasher-safe, and a boon to any cook or baker. --Fred Brack

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, April 18, 2005

This review is from: Kaiser Bakeware Patisserie One-Handed Flour Sifter (Kitchen)

When my favorite sifter finally wore out after years of use, I was happy to find an identical one still available. However, I quickly found out that it only looked the same. The spring mechanism was too weak to allow the sifting blades to return to position after squeezing the handle when using more than a half cup or so of flour. After less than a dozen uses, the plastic part which attached the spring to the blade broke. Unfortunately, it appears as though Kaiser has instituted the same sort of "cost takeout" process used by many companies to maximize profits at the expense of quality.

This sifter is so small. I bake a lot of cakes and need to sift
confectioners sugar into my bowl. This does not hold a box of sugar. Also, if you put too much sugar in it, it jams. It can get very tiring on the hand.

2.0 out of 5 stars Plastic..., July 21, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Kaiser Bakeware Patisserie One-Handed Flour Sifter (Kitchen)

This can be a good sifter if only Kaiser does not use plastic for the movable parts... alas, mine can be jammed easily if I fill the cup to half its height and the reason is because the plastic "stick" that links the squeezing handle and the rotary can be bent pretty easily.

I would say that if you only want to sift a small amount of confectioners' sugar onto pastries, then this sifter is fine. However, I personally would not recommend this sifter over any others I have used. (i.e., get something else...)
