Sifters Buying Guide, Stores, and Prices

Sifters

So your favorite cake recipe  calls for sifted flour, but you don't have the right tools on hand. Sifters  come in three major varieties:

  • Rotary Crank
    • The most rustic of the sifters is the rotary crank .
    • They usually work pretty well, but smaller lumps might get missed.
  • Squeeze Handle
    • You only need one hand to operate these.
    • Frees up your other hand to add other ingredients.
    • There's also less of a chance of getting dust in your face with the squeeze handle .
  • Battery Operated
    • It will do all the work for you! Perfect for those who have trouble turning a rotary or squeezing the handle - especially cooks with arthritis.
    • The battery-operated  sifter comes with a lid for extra protection against dust clouds and messes.
    • However, you'll have less control over how fast it works.
  • No matter which type you choose, look for one with stainless steel mesh.
  • Sifters made entirely of stainless steel will be a little heavier than plastic counterparts, but will last longer.
