Basic Info
The Stainless Steel Oil Filter is a handheld straining tool designed for handling hot oil and other liquids.Its hemispherical shape and double-layer fine mesh are intended to efficiently separate food particles from oil after frying,or for other kitchen tasks requiring rapid solid-liquid separation.It aims to help extend the usable life of cooking oil and obtain clearer liquids.
Customer reviews
Sophia Li · Apartment Building Property Manager
We equipped all tenants with the disposable foldable sink strainer,and feedback is excellent.When unfolded,it offers wide coverage,completely intercepting hair and food scraps to prevent blockages in shared pipes.Disposable use ensures hygiene and convenience,and its foldable design facilitates our bulk storage and distribution,significantly reducing management costs.
Andrew Mitchell · Head of Culinary Training Institute
Processing large volumes of ingredients daily,clogged drains were a constant issue.This plastic triangular sink strainer fits snugly in various drain openings,with fine mesh effectively trapping all solid waste.The PP material is heat-resistant and warp-free,and the raised edge prevents water splashing,significantly improving cleaning efficiency.
Daniel Ross · Head Chef,Vegan Restaurant
The plastic kitchen filter basket is essential for our salad preparation.Its large capacity and evenly distributed drainage holes quickly drain vast amounts of washed greens.The food-grade material is safe and odorless,and the dual handles provide a secure grip for easy pouring,greatly enhancing our kitchen workflow efficiency.
Product Description
Product Features:
The core feature of this strainer is its sturdy double-layer mesh construction.The inner,coarser support mesh provides structural rigidity,while the outer,extremely fine woven mesh is responsible for intercepting tiny food particles and carbonized bits.This design aims to maintain flow rate while effectively filtering out impurities when straining hot oil.The long handle and heat-resistant materials are designed to provide a safe working distance for the user,helping to prevent burns from splashing oil.The hemispherical shape offers a relatively large filtering surface area and is often contoured to fit the curve of most household pots,making it convenient for scooping and filtering liquid directly from the pot.Made entirely from stainless steel,it features corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.

Product Specifications:
Common sizes are chosen to balance filtering efficiency with the convenience of handheld operation.The fineness of the mesh is considered to handle the typical size of frying residue.The connection between the handle and the mesh is usually reinforced for durability.The product is overall lightweight yet structurally robust,resisting deformation.Some models may offer options in depth or mesh size to accommodate a wider range of applications,such as straining broth or rinsing grains.

Product Applications:
Primarily used in home or restaurant kitchens to filter and reclaim cooking oil after frying foods(e.g.,fried chicken,doughnuts),removing food particles to allow for potential reuse.Can be used to quickly skim scum and fat from the surface of soups or stews after cooking,and to strain out fine spice sediments.Useful during food prep for rinsing beans or grains and draining water.Can also serve as a general-purpose liquid transfer tool,helping to prevent impurities from entering when pouring liquids from one container to another.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q:How does a frying oil strainer ensure clean oil separation and prevent burns?
A:Quality strainers feature a dual-layer mesh:a fine primary mesh catches food debris,and a bottom micro-mesh filters burnt bits.The handle is heat-resistant(silicone/thick plastic)with a hang hole for stable,safe placement during draining.
Q:How to choose the mesh size of a stainless steel frying oil strainer?
A:Opt for a mesh diameter of approximately 1.5-2mm.Excessively dense mesh slows filtration and complicates cleaning,while overly sparse mesh fails to filter fine charred bits.Medium-density mesh offers a good balance between filtering efficiency and ease of use,suitable for most household and commercial frying.
Q:Why is a 304 stainless steel strainer recommended?
A:304 stainless steel contains nickel-chromium alloy,offering excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability.It resists rust and harmful substance release during prolonged contact with hot oil.Its smooth surface doesn't retain odors and is easy to clean thoroughly,better preserving oil flavor and food safety.
Q:How to quickly and effectively remove greasy residue from the strainer?
A:Rinse under running water with a soft brush while the strainer is still warm after use.For stubborn grease,soak in hot soapy water for 10 minutes or scrub with a baking soda paste.Avoid steel wool to prevent scratching the stainless steel surface and damaging its protective layer.
Q:How do the strainer's depth and handle design affect user experience?
A:Choose a strainer with a depth greater than 8cm for larger capacity,preventing residue splashing during shaking.The handle should have sufficient length and heat-resistant design(e.g.,silicone grip or hollow structure)to ensure safe,comfortable operation and stable hanging for oil draining.
Q:Can using a strainer genuinely extend frying oil's service life?
A:Regular filtration effectively removes food carbon and particles from the oil,which accelerate oxidation and rancidity.Combined with proper storage(dark,sealed,cool),using a strainer can significantly slow oil degradation,appropriately extending the number of uses for frying oil while ensuring flavor and safety.
