Expert Review and  Insights

In any professional kitchen, it’s the small, reliable tools that often make the biggest impact. The Schneider CS712 isn’t flashy, but it’s a proper workhorse.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: The ultra-fine mesh is brilliant for delicate dusting on pastries and  cappuccinos.
  • Cons: It’s designed for fine powders; very coarse sugars might not dispense easily.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Lavender Tea Room in York decided to upgrade its tableware and  kitchen tools to better reflect its premium offering. Their old plastic sugar shakers were prone to clogging and  looked tired, detracting from the customer experience.

"We were so fed up with clumpy sugar and  flimsy shakers. The Schneider dredgers are brilliant – they’re sturdy, give a lovely fine dusting on our scones, and  look incredibly smart on the counter. Customers have even commented on them!"

Robert Davies – Owner

By switching to the Schneider CS712, the tea room improved its finishing consistency and  significantly reduced waste from clumping sugar, enhancing both presentation and  efficiency.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before its first use, give it a good wash with warm, soapy water and  dry it completely.
  • Simply unscrew the top and  fill it with your chosen fine powder – icing sugar, cocoa, or cinnamon are ideal.
  • For best results, make sure the powder is dry and  free of any large lumps to avoid clogging the mesh.
  • Screw the top on securely to create a good seal, which helps keep moisture out and  the contents fresh.

Keeping It Going

  • We strongly recommend hand-washing only; a dishwasher can be too harsh and  may damage the fine mesh.
  • Empty and  clean the dredger regularly to stop old powders from caking inside.
  • If the mesh does get a bit clogged, a gentle scrub with a soft, dry brush will clear it.
  • Always store it in a dry cupboard or on a dry shelf to maintain the pristine quality of the stainless steel.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Shaker or Dredger

Not sure which dredger is right for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Mesh vs. Perforated

Mesh tops, like on this model, are for fine powders like icing sugar or cocoa. Perforated (holed) tops are better for coarser items like flour, salt, or sprinkles.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the professional standard for a reason. It’s tough, hygienic, doesn't hold onto flavours, and  is far more durable than plastic alternatives.

Consider the Capacity

A smaller dredger like this 12.8cm sugar dispenser offers brilliant control for detailed work. For high-volume flouring, you might want a larger model.

Ease of Cleaning

Simple designs are best. A straightforward screw-top means there are no fiddly parts, making it quick and  easy to clean thoroughly after a busy service.

Front or Back of House?

For any equipment that customers might see, a polished stainless steel finish like this one always looks clean, tidy, and  professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this dredger dishwasher safe?

A: To protect the fine mesh screen and  ensure its longevity, we recommend hand-washing only.

Q: What is the best thing to use this for?

A: It's absolutely perfect for very fine powders like icing sugar, cocoa powder, and  cinnamon for a decorative finish.

Q: Can I use it for flour?

A: While you can, its fine mesh is designed for dusting, not heavy-duty flouring. A dredger with larger holes would be better for that task.

Q: How do you stop the sugar from clumping inside?

A: The stainless steel body and  secure screw-top lid are great at protecting against moisture. Always use dry powder and  store the dredger in a dry place.

Q: What are the exact dimensions?

A: It stands at 125mm tall and  has a diameter of 70mm, making it a compact and  easy-to-handle tool.

Q: Is the stainless steel food-grade?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Schneider CS712 is made from high-quality, food-safe stainless steel, ideal for any professional kitchen environment.

Q: Does the lid screw on or is it a push-fit?

A: The lid screws on securely, which helps to keep the contents fresh and  prevent any accidental spills during use.

Q: Is it heavy to hold?

A: Not at all. It’s very lightweight at just 0.13kg, so it's comfortable to use even for repetitive tasks during a long shift.

What Customers Are Saying

How a Fine Mesh Top Creates a Flawless Finish

Ever wondered why some shakers leave clumps while others create a perfect dusting? It's all in the top. Think of it like the difference between a watering can and  a fine mist spray for your plants. A dredger with simple punched holes is like the watering can – it just dumps the sugar on, creating heavy, uneven patches. This mesh sugar dispenser, however, acts like a built-in sieve. As you shake it, the fine mesh screen forces the powder to break up into tiny, uniform particles. The result is an incredibly light, even, almost cloud-like dusting that settles gently on your food. It’s the secret to getting a delicate coating on a tiramisu or a cappuccino without overpowering it with a sugary hit.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Artisan Coffee Shops: For adding that perfect, Instagram-worthy chocolate or cinnamon dusting on cappuccinos and  lattes.
  • Bakeries & Patisseries: Absolutely essential for applying a fine, even layer of icing sugar on delicate cakes and  pastries.
  • Restaurant Kitchens: A reliable tool for meticulously plating desserts or adding a final flourish to savoury dishes.
  • Catering Colleges & Cookery Schools: A durable, professional-grade tool for teaching students the importance of precision and  presentation.
