What Is Fine-mesh sieve?
Fine-mesh sieve: A sieve with a very tight mesh, used to strain out seeds, pulp, bits of egg or spice for a smooth result.
In the kitchen
Pushing lemon curd, custard or syrup through a fine-mesh sieve removes the tiny cooked bits of egg and any zest that would spoil the texture. Press the mixture through with the back of a spoon.
It also catches seeds and pulp from fresh juice, and strains herbs or ginger out of an infused syrup or tea. It is one of the most useful and inexpensive pieces of kit for smooth, clean results.
