Bar strainers are important in any bar to mix drinks.
Bar Strainers
Keep chunks of fruit, ice, and other ingredients from your drink with the help of bar strainers. The strainers can be used for different types of
serving glasses, since more than one drink can be mixed in them.
Design Factor
Bar strainers are made of a long handle which is attached to a flat paddle with or without prongs. The long handle present provides a good grip. Since they are designed to hold the glass, a coiled spring is present along the edge. This keeps the
strainers in position and also strains the fluid being poured. The springs can be removed for cleaning.
Materials Used
Bar strainers made out of
stainless steel are a common sight everywhere. This is because they are easy to maintain and do not corrode, even when exposed to acids such as lemon.
Types of Bar Strainers
There are two major types of bar strainers.
