Product Overview
Getting those perfectly smooth, lump-free sauces, custards, and soups is a doddle with the right gear.

Expert Review and Insights

- Pros: The resting hooks are brilliant for multitasking over a pan.
- Cons: The plastic handle isn't as heat-resistant as an all-metal version.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling tearoom in York, was constantly replacing flimsy, high-street sieves that would bend and rust. They needed a more robust solution for their daily baking and soup-making operations.
"We were going through a sieve every few weeks, which was just daft. We switched to the Vogue heavy duty models six months ago and the original one is still going strong. The build quality is in a different league entirely, and the resting hooks have freed up a pair of hands during our busy lunch service."
Robert Finch – Head Baker
The switch has eliminated replacement costs and increased kitchen efficiency, cutting down sifting time by an estimated 20%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give it a thorough wash in warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Familiarise yourself with the two resting hooks on the rim – they're designed to sit securely on pots and mixing bowls.
- The handle includes a handy hook for hanging on a tool rack, keeping it accessible and off your work surfaces.
Keeping It Going
- Clean promptly after use, especially with starchy or sugary foods, to prevent residue from drying on the mesh.
- Use a brush with soft bristles to gently dislodge any stubborn particles from the mesh. Avoid harsh metal scourers.
- Although durable, it's best to hand-wash to prolong the life of the tinned coating and plastic handle.
- Ensure the sieve is completely dry before storing it to prevent any chance of corrosion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this sieve dishwasher safe?
A: To ensure the longest possible lifespan, we recommend hand-washing. The high temperatures and harsh detergents in a commercial dishwasher can degrade the handle and tinned coating over time.
Q: What does 'double mesh' actually mean?
A: It means the sieve is constructed with two layers of mesh instead of one. This makes it much stronger, more durable, and less likely to sag or break.
Q: What is the handle made from?
A: The handle is made from a tough, ergonomic plastic designed for a comfortable and secure grip during use.
Q: Can I use this for straining hot liquids like stock or soup?
A: Absolutely. The sieve itself is designed for hot liquids, but take care not to rest the plastic handle directly on the edge of a very hot pot.
Q: How do I clean it effectively?
A: Rinse it immediately after use. For stubborn bits, use a soft brush and warm, soapy water. Tapping the frame gently can also help dislodge particles.
Q: Will this stainless steel mesh strainer rust over time?
A: The mesh has a tinned steel construction, which is highly resistant to rust. To ensure its longevity, always dry it thoroughly before storing.
Q: How do the resting hooks work?
A: There are two small hooks on the frame opposite the handle. These hook over the rim of a bowl or pan, holding the sieve steady so you can use both hands for pouring.
Q: Is this suitable for sifting flour?
A: Yes, its fine mesh makes it an excellent choice for sifting flour, cocoa powder, and icing sugar for baking.

Explore more from VogueWhy a Tinned Double Mesh Makes All the Difference
Ever used a cheap sieve that starts to sag in the middle after a few heavy uses? That's where the 'tinned double mesh' on this Vogue model comes in. Instead of a single layer of woven wire, it uses two layers pressed together. This clever design provides reinforcement, making the whole structure much stronger and more resistant to bending or breaking under the weight of ingredients.
Think of it like a reinforced bridge versus a simple plank of wood. The double mesh distributes weight and stress far more effectively, ensuring the sieve keeps its shape. This means you get a perfectly consistent strain or sift every single time, year after year, without any annoying dips or weak spots developing. It’s a small detail that has a huge impact on both performance and lifespan.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurants & Gastropubs: An absolute must-have for creating velvety smooth soups, flawless sauces, purées, and gravies with consistency.
- Bakeries & Patisseries: Perfect for sifting flour, cocoa, and achieving that professional, even dusting of icing sugar on cakes and pastries.
- Catering Companies & Canteens: A durable, no-fuss tool that stands up to the demands of high-volume food preparation.
- Ambitious Cocktail Bars: Essential for double-straining cocktails to remove fine ice shards and pulp for a superior texture and finish.
