Review: extremely valuable tool, if you have use for it - I purchased this a year ago, and continue to be entirely satisfied with it. Using it has made stock making go much faster - the straining part was always the biggest hassle and time drain - so I make my own stock more often now. Cleanup is also much easier than with the multiple strainers and layers of cheese cloth I used to use to end up with this same quality of filtration. If you chill the broth to below 40 degrees F in an ice and salt bath before the final straining into a container, it will end up straining away most of the fat as well, so no need to do an extra step for fat separation. I use a 17 cup Snapware storage container, so that's just over a gallon of stock each time. If you're considering buying one of these, you probably already make your own stock regularly or you would be thinking about spending this much money on a tool like this. If you can afford this item, go ahead and get it. It's expensive, but it really does make a difference. It is large, but that is part of what makes it work so quickly and well. You can pour quickly, straining from one pot to another without any concern about splashing over the edge of, or over-filling, a too-small strainer. Review: Great for yogurt and bone broth - I use this at least once a week. I use this mainly for straining homemade yogurt and occasionally chicken bone broth. This is a very fine strainer. Very little yogurt strains through with the whey. I turn one gallon of milk into yogurt. It takes filling this strainer up twice for the entire batch. I usually let it strain 1/4 of the way down which takes about 45-60 minutes if the yogurt is straight out of the warming oven. This produces approx 2.5-3 quarts of yogurt. Reducing it too much produces dry thick yogurt. Straining bone broth is a breeze. It ensures all small bones are caught. Its large enough to strain the bones from a whole chicken. Pros: -it's large, thus reducing your straining time -dishwasher safe -handles high heat well -sturdy - the wires that protect the strainer work well Cons: -It's large. It may be difficult to store depending on your kitchen. - the size makes it really hard to strain by hanging in even a large stockpot. It does stand and lean while straining ok though. It can be difficult to clean the fine mesh. I use a sink sprayer and then put it in the dishwasher. -the price is a bit high Overall this is a great purchase and I am extremely pleased with the product. I can't imagine making yogurt without it. ## Features - VARIETY OF USES: Perfect use for making fine stuffing and straining custards, purees, soups, and sauces, with the ability to also sift flour and other dry ingredients - HIGH QUALITY MATERIAL: Body and handle comprised of one-piece Exoglass material, developed by Matfer, making it highly durable, non-stick, non-porous, and easy to sterilize.

The size of the ladle depends on what you are pressing. I commonly use an 8 oz ladle. If you have very little in it, you may want that 2 oz one like the other answer said, as it would get all the way down into the tip of this quality tool. Your have to use a good quality ladle or it will break. Otherwise, go to your local Ethnic place, we have Vietnamese and different Hispanic groceries. They usually carry large petals like you may want for this. Be gentle with a pestle. You DO NOT want to bust the stainless steel screen on this strainer using too much force. **Q: Would this work for straining milk for dry curd cottage cheese?** A: I suppose so. It is a very fine weave on the mesh basket, so I would think it would handle delicate stuff like cottage cheese nicely. **Q: where is this made?** A: France good one ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ extremely valuable tool, if you have use for it *by J***E on December 21, 2014* I purchased this a year ago, and continue to be entirely satisfied with it.

When I strain out the liquid for bottling, the solid foods come out with it. Previously, I used a collander and then a typical round strainer. This was particularly awkward when making beef or chicken broth in large canning kettles, which also has to be strained. This strainer is so great I can just pour the food into it and it holds about 2 quarts of foods. Now, straining is one step rather than three. It is also fine enough that I can put yogurt into it and it will strain the whey! I would otherwise have to use a cheese cloth. Even though it is expensive, this strainer it is worth it. It is also very sturdy and will probably last for my lifetime. I don't even have to worry about hot liquids, the materials are impervious to heat. I use it almost every day. ## Frequently Bought Together - Matfer Bourgeat Professional Bouillon Strainer/Chinois with Exoglass Handle and Fine Steel Mesh Sieve - Winco , 13-7/8'' x 3-1/8'' Wood Chinois Pestle, Assorted - HIC Kitchen Pestle for Chinois, Cone-Shaped, Wood, 8-Inches --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4130658-matfer-bourgeat-professional-bouillon-strainer-chinois-with-exoglass-handle-fine](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/4130658-matfer-bourgeat-professional-bouillon-strainer-chinois-with-exoglass-handle-fine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-10*
