Troubleshooting
Sieve is not straining effectively.
Ensure the mesh is clean and free from blockages. For very fine ingredients, a double sifting may be necessary. Check that the sieve is properly seated over the bowl or pot.
Handle feels uncomfortable during use.
Ensure you are gripping the handle correctly. The red handle is designed for ergonomics, but individual hand comfort may vary. Try adjusting your grip.
Food particles are difficult to remove.
Soak the sieve in warm soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning. Use a soft brush to gently scrub the mesh. Dishwasher cleaning is recommended for best results.
Sieve slips when placed on a bowl.
Ensure the lip of the sieve is properly seated on the rim of the bowl or pot. For added security, hold the handle firmly during use.
