About this item

STRONG AND LIGHTWEIGHT SIFTER HOLDS A FULL 3 CUPS: Home baking just got easier. This sifter holds more flour or powdered sugar than most sifters made for home use. Measurements are stamped right into the metal and can easily be read from inside the sifter as well as outside.
CLASSIC RELIABLE HAND CRANK AND SINGLE MESH: Professionals prefer crank-style sifters over hand squeeze sifter models because they can stand up to repeated use without tiring out your hand. Sifting is effortless and clean up is super simple - no multi-layers of mesh for ingredients to get stuck.
THE DOUBLE LOOP AGITATOR LEAVES NOTHING BEHIND: Lumps of flour and sugar can get left behind to clog the mesh screens when using squeeze handle models, but the Bellemain Flour Sifter cranks smoothly, capturing everything. Works great with fine and coarse flours like almond meal and oat bran.
EASY FOR BAKERS WITH ARTHRITIS TO USE: Squeeze handles are hard to work and require hand strength - which means they can wear you out quickly. But the Bellemain Sifter’s hand crank operates smoothly and effortlessly - lightweight flours and sugars practically sift themselves.
RUST RESISTANT STAINLESS STEEL WILL EASILY LAST A GENERATION OR MORE: Stainless steel is lightweight, but stronger than aluminum or plastic - so you never need to worry about cracks, chips, dents and scratches. This is the sifter that you'll still be using in 20 years

    So easy- took directly from the box ( carefully package and perfect condition) shifted flour for breakfast biscuits - no more clumpy flour as it produces silky flour allowing accurate flour measurements- scratch biscuits in the oven in 10 minutes.
    Solid sturdy construction- well worth every penny!

    I may not live the most exciting life, but this sifter pushed me a long way in the right direction.

    A few short weeks ago, one of my wife's boyfriends' girlfriends (don't overthink it) challenged me to a chocolate lava cake baking competition. Me of all people, one of the most esteemed chocolate lava cake bakers I know. My world was shattered. Who would dare! There was only one thing to do: I had to step up my lava cake game.

    Traditionally, when I bake things, I bake them for myself and I have very close to no standards for baking qualities. The whole reason I bake lava cakes in the first place is because (1) I am completely insensitive to baking quality, which can be a problem since I was challenged by an experienced baker and (2) a bit of (trigger warning: cultural appropriation) "nekojita" or "cat tongue" which my dear wikitionary describes as "someone who is incapable of drinking or eating anything hot due to having an overly sensitive tongue" so I usually end up just eating uncooked batter and praying to the many gods of infectious diseases to spare me. Successful so far on that front by the way, but I digress.

    Consequently, I've generally used an approach of "dump everything in a bowl and stir it until losing interest" which hadn't produced the most, shall we say, appetizing confectures. The biggest problem, in the words of my lovely and supportive spouse, is that little tiny beads of powdered sugar form in the recipe producing pockets of unpleasantly concentrated sweetness.

    Well we can't have that. No way, no how, not me and NOT just before a competition. So I scoured the globe (or at least 3 kitchen stores at the local mall) for a sifter that could meet my lofty standards, if such a sifter existed. I was able to find a variety of contraptions of all shapes, sizes, types and colors but, personally, I had two main criteria.

    First, I wanted a sifter with a hand crank. Apparently there are these new-fangled devices which can sift by squeezing on the handle with a serious of tedious, untrustworthy and critically difficult to clean moving parts sheathed beneath a false floor of metallic mesh. Not for me! I think it's important to be able to quickly and easily clean your sifter properly. The aforementioned loving and supportive spouse has raised some concerns about my dish-washing capabilities in the past so this was a must.

    Secondly, I wanted a sifter with measurements on the sides. Now for high precision baking you're supposed to do all kinds of high precision measurements and, when appropriate, I am prepared to take such measures. But sometimes a friend is coming over with little advance warning and I have to produce one of my much ballyhooed desserts lest I face the soul-crushing reality that all forms of human contact I presently enjoy are predicated on the notion that I will provide tastey (sic) treats for guests and I sacrifice some precision for speed (and fewer ugly dishes in the sink).

    This sifter is the best of all possible worlds. Quick and easy to use, quick and easy to clean, surprisingly good lucking, and offered at a price competitive with many of the others I was looking at in stores even after including shipping. While I'm not much of a connoisseur of baking goods, I have to say that to the best of my understanding what a sifter can and should be, the Bellemain Stainless Steel 3 Cup Sifter is the very stuff that dreams are made of.

    At least my dreams, it's the stuff of nightmares for my challenger in the bake-off.

    NOTE: It is totally okay to end a sentence with the word "of" now that conversational English has invented for itself some phrasal verbs.

    What You Need to Know:
    • Capacity is at least 2 cups or more of flour.
    • Very easy to operate.
    • Tends to throw the sifted material out of the canister.

    Full Review:
    I’ve been making flaxseed bread. I read that the bread would be better if you sifted the flaxseed meal after having ground the flaxseeds. That was my reason for this purchase. The sifter has a handle to hold as well as a wooden knob to rotate the sifting ring inside against the screen in the bottom to sift the material. That all works well. However, if you rotate the sifting ring in a full circle, as it passes the ribs inside the sifter, it will throw out the material you are sifting. I kept thinking that there should have been a plastic cap over the top to keep the material inside the canister. I found that the best way to sift the flaxseed meal was to rock the sifting ring back and forth rather than rotating the ring in a full circle. Doing that kept the flaxseed meal inside the sifter. I’m not a baker. Maybe that’s the way you are supposed to use the sifter.

    I recently purchased the Bellemain Stainless Steel 3 Cup Flour Sifter, and it has proven to be a valuable addition to my kitchen. Here's my review based on my experience:

    Pros:

    Stainless Steel Construction:

    The flour sifter is made of high-quality stainless steel, providing durability, resistance to rust, and easy cleaning. The sturdy construction ensures it can withstand regular use in the kitchen.
    Three-Cup Capacity:

    The three-cup capacity is suitable for sifting a moderate amount of flour or other dry ingredients. It strikes a good balance between size and convenience for both small and medium-sized recipes.
    Efficient Sifting Mechanism:

    The sifting mechanism is efficient and effective. It quickly and evenly sifts flour, breaking up clumps and aerating the dry ingredients. This results in smoother batters and more consistent baking.
    Easy to Use and Clean:

    The design of the sifter is user-friendly, with a comfortable handle and an easy-to-operate crank. It disassembles easily for cleaning, and the stainless steel material ensures that it can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
    Fine Mesh Screen:

    The fine mesh screen effectively sifts flour, catching lumps and impurities to deliver a smooth and uniform texture. This is crucial for achieving the desired consistency in baking.
    Compact Design for Easy Storage:

    The compact design makes it easy to store in the kitchen without taking up too much space. It's a practical tool that doesn't require a large footprint in the kitchen.
    Cons:

    Limited Capacity for Large Batches:
    While the three-cup capacity is suitable for many recipes, those who frequently bake in large quantities might find it limiting for big batches. Considerations should be made for the intended usage.
    Overall Impression:

    The Bellemain Stainless Steel 3 Cup Flour Sifter has become an essential tool in my baking routine. Its sturdy construction, efficient sifting mechanism, and easy-to-clean design make it a reliable choice for any home baker.

    For those who regularly bake in smaller to medium-sized quantities, this flour sifter offers convenience and efficiency. It's a well-designed and durable tool that enhances the precision and consistency of dry ingredient preparation in baking. I highly recommend the Bellemain Stainless Steel Flour Sifter to fellow baking enthusiasts.
