A chinois (sometimes called a chinoise) is a conical sieve
with an extremely fine mesh. It is used to strain sauces
and soups, producing a very smooth texture. It can also
be used to strain custards or purees, and even for dusting
pastry with a fine layer of powdered sugar. The name chinois
comes from the French adjective meaning Chinese. The reason
why a good Chinois is not inexpensive is that to get the
perfect sauce, you really do need a very fine precision
mesh is going to last. But why do you need one, you might
ask? Well, the next time you make your gravy to for your
Sunday roast, just pass it through this chinois before pouring
it into the gravy boat - and watch your family's reaction
when they pour it onto their plate! As you learn to make
the most of your chinois, you will understand that you really
do need this utensil for making a whole variety of professional
dishes, not just the best gravy on your roast!

The most important part of the Chinois is the mesh. When
you receive your chinois from us, you will notice when
you take a closer look at the mesh that it is no ordinary
wire gauze, but a precision weave of stainless steel wire
that enables extremely fine straining, and provides surprising
strength too. This strength is needed, not only to ensure
that the chinois is long lasting, but also because it
needs to be able to withstand the dabbing up and down
of a wooden spoon, which chefs do to make sure the flavour-containing
remnents of your sauce pass through the mesh at the end
of straining.
A good chinois will last you for many years, and that
is why, if you are investing in such a brilliant "game-changer"
for your cooking skills, it is worth making sure that
your Chinois is made from stainless steel throughout.
Cheaper versions are made from tin, or are a combination
of stainless steel and tin. Ours is made from 100% stainless
steel so will never rust.
Our
chinois also includes a convenient hook at the top, which
enables you to support the chinois on the top rim of taller
saucepans. A hole is provided at the end of the handle
as the chinois is usually hung up.
