Mrs. Anderson's Tamis Mesh Sifter, also known as a Drum Sieve, breaks up and removes clumps from ingredients before baking or cooking. Its 9-inch width is ample room to process large amounts of ingredients quickly. Powdered ingredients like flour, crushed spices and confectioners' sugar tend to settle and compact during packaging and shipping. Mrs. Anderson's Tamis Mesh Sifter aerates these ingredients and removes clumps for lighter, fluffier baked goods. For smoother soups and sauces, use the fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, skins and other fibrous bulk from pastes and purees. No more lumps! It's a versatile kitchen tool that acts as a sieve, sifter, strainer, grater, and food mill.
