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.
