Full details
The Schneider Mesh Sugar Dispenser is an essential tool for pastry chefs and busy kitchen staff who require precise, clump-free dusting of powdered sugar or cocoa. Ideal for finishing desserts and pastries in high-volume professional settings, this 12.8cm dispenser ensures a consistent flow for professional presentation. While it is built for durability and performance, users should note that its fine mesh design is best suited for fine powders rather than granular sugars, which may require a different type of shaker.

FAQs
Can this be used for granulated sugar?
No, the mesh size is designed specifically for fine powders like icing sugar or cocoa. Granulated sugar will not pass through the screen.
Is the dispenser dishwasher safe?
While the body is robust, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the fine mesh screen over time.
What is the material of the dispenser?
The Schneider Mesh Sugar Dispenser is manufactured from durable materials suitable for commercial kitchen hygiene standards.
Does it come with a cap?
The design includes a lid structure specifically aimed at protecting the contents from ambient kitchen moisture.
How often should I clean the mesh?
For optimal hygiene and flow, we recommend clearing any residue after every shift.
What is the total capacity?
With a 70mm diameter and 12.8cm height, it holds a significant amount of powder for service, though exact weight depends on the density of the ingredient.
Troubleshooting
Powder is not flowing through the mesh
Check for moisture inside the mesh screen; if damp, clear the mesh with a dry brush and ensure the container is completely dry before refilling.
Contents are clumping inside the dispenser
Store the dispenser in a lower-humidity area and ensure the lid is properly seated after every use to prevent atmospheric moisture from entering.
Uneven distribution of powder
Avoid overfilling the dispenser, as too much pressure on the mesh can impede flow; keep the unit at a 45-degree angle while tapping for better distribution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the dispenser, ensure the unit is completely dry before adding any powdered ingredients. Filling the dispenser to approximately 75% capacity allows for better aeration, which improves the flow through the mesh. When not in use, store the dispenser in a dry, temperate area away from steam or heavy humidity to maintain its moisture-resistant properties. For cleaning, hand wash the stainless steel body with warm, soapy water. Avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads on the mesh screen, as these can deform the fine gaps; instead, use a soft nylon brush to gently clear any trapped sugar particles from the underside of the mesh.
