I have to say that I was so excited when I bought this strainer. It looked so simple, and so functional, and best of all, so affordable! Then I attempted using it...
The bag falls off the frame if you fill the bag more than about a third full, no matter how tightly you tie the strings. The reason for this is that it can't slip under the metal loop completely to grasp better because the legs of the thing come directly out of the hoop, and for intensive purposes, from the edge. There is nothing for the bag to grasp. I do larger batches of jellies, and having to slow down production this much is unacceptable.
The upshot is that the bags work. If you've already bought this, and have access to some gallon-sized glass jars (ours were originally pickle jars), you can use those and put the bag in them. It works PERFECTLY. Almost as if that was the original idea...

I purchased this jelly strainer with the intent of making yogurt cheese. Immediately I went home to test drive my new purchase. Unfortunately in less than an hour a rust ring started to form on the bag where it fits snuggly around the top of the support frame. It continued to get worse throughout the day.
Thankfully I purchased this locally so I can easily return it. I only wished I had read reviews on it first.

The service was wonderful. The item arrived quickly and I had no problem with the seller. That said, the threaded end of the metal leg broke off when I went to screw it in and the bag wss too thick for the liquids to strain through. I remember the product's being totally different and I liked it alot, this one was a disappointment. I would recommend the seller highly, but not Norpro.

Bought this when I made grenadine over the holidays. It locked onto my stock pot and stayed put for many hours, and the bag and parts were surprisingly easy to clean. I'd recommend without reservations.

The Norpro Jelly Strainer and Bag is a trick with a hole in the middle! It gets the lumps out of the liquid for jams and jellies and keeps it clear. Used in combination with the Foley Food Mill, all of the juice is extracted and the bag filters the solids.It really is quite a bargain for the kitchen at a little over $9.00.

This little number works great and keeps you from having to buy more expensive cheese cloth. I could recommend it.

This jelly strainer seemed pretty flimsy, and not sturdy. I had a hard time find a bowl that it would fit perfectly on. So I ended up having to support it while the grapes strained. I am on the search for another strainer. I didn't care for this at all.

The set up was easy and the feet fit my Mix and Pour measuring cup without a problem. The bag was the best part of the jelly strainer as it's made of a solid muslin type fabric. The strawberry juice filtered right through the bag leaving the seeds and pulp behind. The bag was easy to clean as there were no seeds stuck inside the fabric which happened with the mesh jelly bag I used in the past.
In the end, I had a nice row of clear jewel-like jars of strawberry jelly as the jelly strainer did its job.
Recommend.

Have you tried this for making almond milk?
A friend showed me how she used this dandy invention for making home made almond milk. Try it! It's worth its price in gold.

Works very well
couldn't be happier with this item. Works much better than the clumsy large filter that I was using before finding this little gem in an online search.

Jelly Strainer....not big enough
I really like the concept of this product, but it's definitely not large enough for the batches of jelly we make. Read more

well made
great for smaller batches of stuff to strain, metal is not stainless steel, it did rust but it did not matter

Jelly strainer too small for real use.
The item is much smaller than I imagined, and consequently inadequate for making any significant amount of jelly, so we used an old pillow case instead.
