Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools View Profile →

  • Pro: Its rigid frame is fantastic; it simply doesn't deform during heavy use.
  • Con: It's a premium tool, so it’s an investment over cheaper, flimsy alternatives.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Severn Table', a bustling riverside bistro in Shrewsbury, were constantly replacing cheap strainers that would warp from heat or break under the strain of daily service. They needed a commercial kitchen fine mesh strainer that could withstand their demanding environment.

"We moved to the Matfer sieves a year ago and  haven't looked back. The difference in build quality is night and  day. They hold their shape, the mesh is still perfect, and  the handles make them so much safer to use with hot stocks. It just works, every time."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

By investing in the Matfer DM598, the bistro has eliminated equipment failure during service and  improved the final texture of its signature dishes, leading to more consistent results.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Inspect the mesh to ensure it's taut and  free from any damage sustained during shipping.
  • Designate a safe storage spot where it won't be crushed or have its mesh damaged by other utensils.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean immediately after use to prevent food from drying onto the fine mesh.
  • Hand-wash recommended. Use a soft brush and  rinse from the back to dislodge stubborn particles.
  • Avoid using abrasive metal scourers, which can damage and  tear the stainless steel mesh.
  • Ensure it is completely dry before storing to maintain the integrity of the frame and  mesh.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Sieve

Not sure which sieve suits your kitchen's needs? Here’s a quick guide to help you make the perfect choice.

Mesh Fineness

Consider what you're straining. Ultra-fine mesh (like this one) is for silky sauces and  fine powders. A coarser mesh is better for draining pasta or washing vegetables.

Material Matters

Stainless steel mesh is the professional standard for durability and  hygiene. For the frame, look for sturdy materials like the Exoglass on this model, which won't bend or melt.

Handle with Care

A comfortable, heat-proof handle is non-negotiable for safety and  reducing fatigue. An ergonomic grip makes repetitive tasks much more manageable.

Size and  Shape

Match the sieve diameter to your most-used pots and  bowls. A 200mm (8") sieve is a versatile all-rounder for most professional tasks.

Stability Features

Features like bowl hooks or a flat base are brilliant for hands-free operation, allowing you to pour with both hands and  work more efficiently and  safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Exoglass?

A: Exoglass is a high-performance composite material developed by Matfer Bourgeat. It's extremely durable, non-porous for hygiene, and  heat-resistant up to 220°C, making it ideal for professional kitchen tools.

Q: Is this sieve dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, it is dishwasher safe. However, for the longest possible life and  to protect the fine mesh, we recommend hand-washing with a soft brush shortly after use.

Q: Can I use this for straining very hot liquids like oil or stock?

A: Absolutely. The Exoglass handle and  stainless steel construction are designed to handle temperatures up to 220°C, making it perfect for straining hot stocks, soups, and  oils safely.

Q: How fine is the mesh on this commercial kitchen fine mesh strainer?

A: It features a triple-fine 0.7mm stainless steel mesh, which is perfect for achieving ultra-smooth textures in sauces, custards, and  for fine sifting.

Q: Will the frame bend if I'm pressing solids through it?

A: No, the frame is reinforced with solid stainless steel wire. It is exceptionally rigid and  designed to keep its shape even under the pressure of daily commercial use.

Q: What is the best way to clean the fine mesh?

A: The easiest way is to rinse it from the reverse side (back to front) with a strong jet of water. This pushes any trapped food particles out instead of lodging them further in.

Q: Are the bowl hooks adjustable?

A: The hooks are integrated into the frame for maximum strength and  are not adjustable. They are designed to fit a wide variety of standard commercial pots and  bowls.

Q: Is the handle comfortable to hold for long periods?

A: Yes, it features an ergonomic, plain handle designed to be comfortable and  reduce strain on the wrist and  hand during extended or repetitive straining tasks.

Why 'Exoglass' is a Cut Above Plastic

Ever had a plastic handle go soft or even melt when resting on the side of a hot pan? That's where Exoglass comes in. Think of it as a high-tech, super-strong composite material specifically engineered for the demands of a hot, busy kitchen. Unlike standard plastic, it's heat-resistant up to a scorching 220°C, so it won't deform or leach chemicals into your food. It’s also completely non-porous and  moulded in one piece, meaning there are no tiny crevices for food particles and  bacteria to hide in. In short, it’s the difference between a tool that lasts a few months and  a trusted partner that lasts for years, giving you heat-proof, hygienic, and  rock-solid performance.

Who Should Buy This?
