Product Information
Full details
The Olympia Sieve - 18cm is a professional-grade kitchen tool engineered for chefs and home cooks who demand precision and durability in their food preparation. This silver stainless steel sieve excels at fine-mesh straining, offering a specialized bowl rest loop and an extended lip for spill-free ingredient transfer; however, its 18cm size is specifically tailored for medium-batch work, which may be limiting for those requiring large-scale industrial straining.

Troubleshooting
Fine sediment stuck in the mesh

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Olympia Sieve, simply rinse the mesh thoroughly before first use. The 18cm diameter is compatible with most standard mixing bowls, though it works best when paired with containers that have a diameter slightly larger than the sieve to ensure the bowl rest loop can engage safely. When cleaning, place the sieve in the dishwasher rack for a standard cycle. To maintain the long-term integrity of the mesh, avoid using abrasive metal scrubbing brushes, which can deform the wire weave and compromise the 0.595mm hole size. For manual cleaning, warm soapy water and a soft nylon brush will easily clear any trapped particulate.
