Multiple Usage Food Strainer, Nut Milk Bag Replacement, Yogurt Strainer, Food Grade Polycarbonate And Stainless Steel Mesh BPA-Free, Nut Milk/Soy Milk/Juice/Tea Filter

I prefer homemade nut milks to commercial ones mainly to avoid the unwanted additives. I have a Vitamix that makes creamy nut milks in about 1 minute, but then comes the dreaded task of straining the milk through a nut bag. Not only is this extremely messy, it also is time consuming. Enter this food strainer, and my nut milks come out incredibly smooth in a fraction of the time it takes to squeeze the milk out of the bag. Also, there’s no mess! The stainless strainer must be hand washed, but they include a brush so clean up is a snap. The base and plunger can go in the dishwasher.

June 2019: Used this to strain homemade ricotta cheese. Absolutely made purchase of this strainer well worth the price. I am lactose intolerant, so I used lactaid whole milk and followed instructions for microwave homemade ricotta (available online at circle-b-kitchen.com). I needed ricotta cheese for lasagna, so I made 2 batches of 4 cups of milk in order to get 2 cups of ricotta. I used my microwave probe to time the mixture to 190 degrees. PERFECT!Received this today and immediately used it to strain almond and cashew pulp from my homemade coffee creamer. First I used it to strain the whole soaked nuts, then whirred those up in the blender with more water. Poured the mix back into the top strainer and let it drip quite a while (which eliminated most of the pressing.) When I poured the strained liquid into another jar, I couldn't detect any residual pulp in the bottom of the jug.Does it get as much liquid out as a nut milk bag? I kind of doubt it, but that's okay, because it's not messy and cleans up easily. I will use the leftover pulp for other recipes.This whole setup could be vastly improved if there was a top lid for the strainer basket. Until they make that modification, I'm using a piece of plastic wrap secured by a large rubber band.UPDATE: There were no enclosed directions in the box, and I missed the info on the listing about not putting the strainer portion in the dishwasher. I put the whole set in the top rack of the dishwasher without a problem, but I may wash the strainer by hand from now on.

I was trying to make oat milk without having to touch cheesecloth or nut milk bags.I first bought a metal french press. Well that didn't work at all; it would clog up immediately then then squirt out and hit the ceiling from all the pressure.This works great to filter out nut milk or oat milk. You have to stir a bit with the plunger tool, then gently start plunging with it. Once you get the hang of it you can squeeze it all out within 3-5 minutes and never touch a cheesecloth or bag.Only thing it is missing is a nice cover on the pitcher. So you have to pour it into another container or use plastic wrap.

Used to strain soymilk. The strainer is easy to use, strained well. I used a silicon spatula to move the okara around to facilitate the draining process. The pitcher easily held the full amount of plant milk made in the miomat.

I use this gadget A LOT! The quality is great! The size is perfect! I will use this instead of my cheese cloth or mechanical juicer because the clean up is a LOT easier!! I just blend my fruit or vegetable and pour it into this and use the little push tool. Clean up is quick!

It is no joke! This is a serious game changer! My system has trouble with dairy, but I also totally dislike store-bought nut milks. I really also do not like squeezing nut bags for some reason. Nut bags are messy and it gets milk all over your hands, and I don't know. It's weirdly just not very satisfying. LOLThis thing however is fantastic! I was worried that the filter would not be as fine as the high grade nut bags I've upgraded to. Not to worry! There is zero grit after filtering with this filter and it is really super satisfying! You just scoot the milk around gently over the filter with either one of the little devices and the comes out a million times yummier than a store-bought nut milks and just as creamy and lovely as cow milk. I only wish I would have hunted this thing down years ago.

I bought this because I was using a standard strainer but it was too messy and I got way too much pulp then I liked. I also did not want to use a nut milk bag because I have arthritis in my hands so squeezing is not an option. You just use the pusher to help the milk strain better and I get no pulp because the strainer is super fine. This also holds a large amount of milk. Better than the nut milk machines better priced all you need is a high powered blender and this strainer. No need for nut milk machines in my opinion.

I like the ease of use for the Multiple Usage Food Strainer. The mesh is fine enough to keep the solids separate from the liquid. The way the mesh is attached to the plastic container seems a little flimsy. I did not put any pressure on the mesh part while making oatmilk. I used the round plunger provided to stir the oats until most of the liquid was released. This strainer allowed the secondary solids to flow through to the liquid container. Secondary solids as the chalk and grit that is expelled from the grains when soaked in a liquid. The food strainer does not strain as well as a nut milk bag. It is not an electric item so there is no "Blending Power", unless it is done by hand. The container is a good size. It is not very stable when the two pieces are connected. The top part easily detaches from the bottom, and if pushing or stirring the solids on top can easily tip both over. I make three batches of oatmilk a week. May try this with nuts instead, to see how it holds up.
