Go with the strain.

Sometimes it's the smallest, most overlooked tools that take on the most labor-intensive tasks. Which is why we're putting the spotlight on this guy. Whether you need to whip up a batch of vegetable stock, sift flour for cake, give your cookies a dusting, drain pasta, or steep a cup of loose tea leaves, you’ll want to have a strainer or sieve close by. And thanks to this handy set of three—each one a different size!—now you’ll be ready for every task.

They’re all made from so-sturdy stainless steel and have a tight mesh for fine filtration. Plus, each has a long handle and hook that’ll sit easily on pots and bowls (not to mention make for easy hanging storage). We love using ‘em to sprinkle powdered sugar over our favorite bakes and even steam vegetables in a pinch...and we can’t wait to see what you use yours for. Best of all? The whole kit and caboodle is 100% dishwasher safe. Neat.
