Product Description
Amazon.com Review
A chinois (to some unnamed Frenchman or woman, its conical shape resembled a traditional Chinese hat) is a standard in professional kitchens. This fine-mesh sieve removes lumps and renders sauces silken, strains seeds and peels from tomatoes and berries, and produces the smoothest purées and soups. At 7 inches in diameter and 7 inches in height, this chinois is smaller than most professional types, but it's fine for home cooks who prepare smaller meals than the pros do. The stand could use nonskid feet, but the chinois feels solid and will do professional-quality work. --Fred Brack

Not a Chinois,
By William Jefferson Moore (Port Angeles, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Progressive International Stainless Steel Chinoise and Wood Pestle Set (Kitchen)
This product is not a chinois, as the industry understands it. It is a "china cap," or to use a more PC description "a cone strainer." I would submit that any serious chef would gawk at the price because they would find [$$$] to be a great deal, and should shop with that in mind. The point is that you could strain a stock through this thousands of times and end up with a cloudy, unsilken sauce. ... Know your lingo, what you're willing to spend on what you want, and whether or not you really need it--pay the money for the real thing instead of a misnamed product. ...

Great product, but know your mesh...,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Progressive International Stainless Steel Chinoise and Wood Pestle Set (Kitchen)
This is a fine chinois for general straining, but don't be misled by the "extremely fine mesh" mentioned in the product description. This chinois doesn't actually use a mesh, but moderately small holes in the side of the cone. This is great for de-seeding, pureeing, etc., but not sufficient for straining out fine herb particles from bouillon or stock. I had to return mine because of this (I already had a strainer of this grade) and hope that anyone who orders this otherwise excellent product knows what they will use it for and knows its limitations.

not a chinois, it's a china cap,
By A Customer
This review is from: Progressive International Stainless Steel Chinoise and Wood Pestle Set (Kitchen)
great as a china cap, but awful as a chinois. the holes are extremely big, and every little particle goes through. not recommended for serious chefs or those who want to achieve the perfect sauce
