Very Fine Mesh Strainers by Zenpro, (Set of 3) Stainless Steel - Strain Pasta Noodles Quinoa, Tea, Sift & Sieve Flour by ZENPRO

Large strainer handle broke off the strainer portion on first use. Smaller ones seem okay so far. I was quite surprised, as the item LOOKS quite sturdy and yet could not be used to drain 3 oz of pasta without dumping it all down the sink.

very misleading--very fine? maybe they sell an ultra or ultra ultra fine

Very versatile set to have

The smallest one is really small. They work really well for cleaning grains before cooking. Very satisfied

Item as listed. No need for the cheap plastic spoons.

I will be honest these Very Fine Mesh Strainers by Zenpro and colorful measuring spoons are a mixed bag. There are some good things about them and some disadvantages to them as well. I bought them specifically for rinsing quinoa. I have other colanders and strainers that I use for straining pasta that are much sturdier but are not fine enough for rinsing quinoa. I believe the Very Fine Mesh Strainers by Zenpro will work for what I bought them for, light use. However I'm not sure they would stand up to heavy, daily use. There some good things about the Very Fine Mesh Strainers by Zenpro. The mesh is indeed very fine and will work very well for rinsing grains. I also like how they have loop on the side opposite the handle so that they will sit on the edge of a bowl or pan. I don't like to use plastic for any food products over room temperature due to fears about plastics. These are stainless steel which is considered one of the safer materials for use in cooking. They have no plastic or wood in their handles so you could set them over a pot of boiling water on the stove and use them as an improvised steamer. I love the measuring spoons, I know they are just kind of a bonus but the colors are so pretty. My kid is already playing with them, he was just drawn too them. They are also dishwasher safe which is a big plus in my house. That being said the Very Fine Mesh Strainers by Zenpro are the real product here and they have some limitations. The biggest problem I see with the Very Fine Mesh Strainers by Zenpro is that the handles and pot rest loops are only welded on. A quality product would also be riveted. Welding is not the best method of attaching handles because under stress the weld often comes apart. As I'm sure you can see there are more than a few reviewers who have had issues with breakage. I am a culinary arts professional and these would not last in a restaurant kitchen, at home however with light use you might be ok. I received the Very Fine Mesh Strainers by Zenpro at a discount in exchange for my honest review and honestly I can't give them more than three stars and that is pushing it. I feel bad, because I am grateful for the opportunity to review kitchen products but these are dollar store quality strainers being sold at department store prices. If these were around $10 I could maybe get behind the Very Fine Mesh Strainers by Zenpro but for almost $20 I would expect a better quality product. Hopefully this review has been informative and if it has been helpful please let me know. Thanks

I figured I would give these a shot as they were pretty decently priced, I just wish I had read the reviews beforehand. The strainers are nice but ONLY for light stuff. I attempted to use mine to filter some cooking oil and the middle sized one snapped at the handle under the weight of the oil filtering. The smaller one has almost disinigrated from being placed in the dish washer. However, the set of measuring spoons that came with it have worked very well and held up so far. Save your money on these strainers and search elsewhere.I am not an Amazon or company affiliate. I am an Amazon Prime member who reviews products as a hobby.

These strainers are simple, functional strainers. The mesh edges are covered by a metal ring on both sides for stability and the size of the holes are the equivalent of a window screen. A little overkill for pasta, a little too big for straining nut milks. Both the handle and the pot rest/hanging hook are metal wire that is bonded to the strainer. They feel secure though I can't see how they are attached. (Meaning I can't tell if they are glued, welded, soldered or magicked on) The main handle isn't the most comfortable but then most strainers aren't designed for long term holding, that's why they put the pot rest on the other side.All in all a nice set of strainers, definitely on the higher end of basic kitchen tools without getting into the weird funky side.** The bonus set of measuring spoons is in grams/ml not table/tea spoons. The US equivalent is negligibly different, but it's different. The average baker can look at them and know what size they are grabbing, the professional baker probably weighs everything instead of relying on plebeian things like measuring spoons, but I thought it was kind of funny/interesting. Beyond the "crazy" measurements they are rigid measuring spoons on a lockable plastic ring. They nest well and have a pleasant ergonomic fit to them.I received a discount on this product for testing and reviewing purposes and this is my honest and unbiased opinion
