Know before you buy
18-8 stainless steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it an ideal, long-lasting material for kitchen tools that frequently come into contact with oils and moisture.
The conical shape is designed to rest securely on the rim of most standard pots, bowls, or oil storage containers. We recommend using heat-resistant kitchen tongs or a silicone mitt to stabilize the rim if you are pouring directly from a heavy pan.
The perforated drainage style is specifically engineered for efficient oil filtration. While it is excellent for separating fried foods or straining oil from larger debris, it is not intended to act as a fine-mesh sieve for very small particles or sediments.
Yes, the stainless steel construction is completely dishwasher safe. Its durable design ensures it will not warp or degrade even with frequent high-heat cleaning cycles.
This product is crafted in Japan, adhering to high standards of quality and precision typical of Japanese kitchenware manufacturing.
