The definitive kitchenware brand
KitchenCraft is the definitive kitchenware brand, with more than 1,300 everyday kitchen essentials to help you cook, bake and decorate.
KitchenCraft Medium Metal Mesh Kitchen Sieve (18 cm)
Goodbye lumps, hello delicate flurries of flour and icing sugar
Cooking and baking without the basics? It’s like hitting the racetrack in a pair of fluffy slippers. Equip yourself with this sieve, and you’ll have no problem de-lumping your flour, dusting your mince pies, or washing rice for a killer curry. The cooking Olympics, here we come.
This 18 cm (7 inch) sieve is made of stainless steel, with a fine-woven, sturdy mesh. This means it’s strong enough for everyday baking, it won’t rust, and it’s really easy to clean.
In other words, it does everything a good sieve is supposed to do, and at a good price too. That’s value!
- Diameter: 18 cm (7 inches)

The Tech Spec
Stainless steel construction
Stainless steel sieves are a good choice for serious chefs. KitchenCraft’s won’t rust, are easy to clean, and are impressively sturdy.
Twin wire handle
A firm, comfortable handle is a must. This one fits the bill, and has a looped design that lets you hang it up for storage.
Fine-woven mesh
The metal mesh is nice and tight, so you won’t have to sacrifice grains of rice to the sink when you’re washing it.
Built-in bowl rests
You usually need three hands to deal with a mixing bowl, a bag of flour and a sieve. But this sifter has built-in bowl rests, so you can pop it in place over a pan or bowl, and it will sit firmly as you pour your flour through.
Great for Any Baking Job
At 18 cm (7 inches) in diameter, this sieve comes smack-bang in the middle of five sizes. This makes it a real all-rounder, suitable for all sorts of cooking and baking jobs. Use it to sift flour in medium or large bowls, wash good quantities of rice, strain jam, dust sugar on a trayful of bakes, and much more.
Check out the other sizes to build your own straining set. There are five sizes available, ranging from 14 cm (5½ inches) to 25 cm (10 inches). They’re really handy to have around, and the different sizes nest together for storage, so they won’t take up too much space in your cupboard.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 October 2024Pattern Name: SingleSize Name: 25 cm (10")Verified PurchaseThis is sturdy and well-made, it should last a long time. It is a great size. The handle and the 2 rests are great and will not be damaged easily. We got this as our old one had started to fall apart after the handle broke, and this is a better construction and material than our old one. I am happy to recommend this product and seller.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 December 2012Pattern Name: SingleSize Name: 18 cm (7")Verified PurchaseI purchased this sieve on my last visit back to the UK approx. 2 months ago because it is very difficult to
buy any quality kitchen products over here in Thailand where I live .
It is without doubt the best quality sieve that I have ever used , and even though 2 months may not seem
to be long enough for me to give a constructive review , you must take into account that because of the
content of my diet over here , which consists mainly of rice and noodles as my staple , this sieve is used
in my household on at least 3 occasions daily .
The sieve has not tarnished in any way and is still as sturdy as when I first used it .
I have no hesitation in giving this product top marks and would thoroughly recommend it to any who is
thinking of purchasing one in the future .
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 June 2024Pattern Name: SingleSize Name: 25 cm (10")Verified PurchaseIt's a perfectly good strainer, no complaints there. I'd hoped it would be made in India, but no, it it comes from China.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 January 2012Pattern Name: SingleSize Name: 18 cm (7")Verified PurchaseI bought this after having looked around for a really good one for a while. I've bought others in the past that have let me down because they've simply rusted not long after the first use. But this one seems good so far - though I must confess I HAVE NOT put it in the dishwasher even though it says it's dishwashable. This is because my previous one began rusting after I dishwashed it. I think the best way to look after it is to clean it in warm soapy water, rinse and thoroughly dry immediately.
Mind you I do have another make but it's a very small one ( 8cm diameter - if only I could find it in a larger size ) that I put in the dishwash daily and don't bother drying it and that one has lasted me for years and years, so maybe if I took a brave step.....
As to its practicality, it's great!! You can rest it on a bowl rim, leaving you both hands free. And it's a perfect size to store away in a small drawer, especially if your kitchen space is restricting like mine is.
Originally, I did consider a Kitchen Craft Flour Sifter / Aerator, Stainless Steel but this is much quicker and easier to use as you're not having to use a trigger technique which would take longer than this to sift, making your hands ache and this holds a bigger quantity in any case.
Plus the cleaning is much more straight forward - no awkward, hard to get to bits to clean. And especially if it's not completely clean it begins rotting and if it's not completely dry your flour sticks in the awkward, hard to get to bits.
So, overall this one's worked out better all around and it's cheaper.....
Follow-up 13/04/13
Having had this since Dec 2011, it's great and hasn't rusted nor fallen apart.
I've never ever put it in the dishwash, decided against it as I didn't want to take any chances. My teenage daughter loves it and is a keen baker and uses nothing else. She too loves this one and in comparison to the ones at her school, which have rusted and the mesh began to fall apart - this one, if looked after properly, will serve you very well!!

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 December 2024Pattern Name: SingleSize Name: 20 cm (8")Verified Purchasestrong, reasonable priced does the job
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 August 2019Pattern Name: SingleSize Name: 25 cm (10")Verified PurchaseNicely made with a fine 10" size stainless steel mesh and sturdy handle, Rice & Pasta with 2 serving at a time easy to use, works well, sturdy if as anything used with some care as its BIG!
hindsight the 8 inch would have been more suitable as this one fits into most pans & pots, whereas the 10" does not but a small issue overall

RobertReviewed in Germany on 21 December 20235.0 out of 5 stars Hervorragendes Küchensieb für präzises Sieben!
Pattern Name: SingleSize Name: 25 cm (10")Verified PurchaseIch bin absolut begeistert von meinem neuen feinmaschigen Metall-Küchensieb! Die Qualität und Verarbeitung sind erstklassig, und es erfüllt seine Aufgabe perfekt. Das feine Mesh sorgt dafür, dass selbst die kleinste Unreinheit aussortiert wird, und das robuste Metallmaterial gewährleistet eine langfristige Nutzung. Die Konstruktion des Siebs ist durchdacht, mit einem stabilen Griff, der angenehm in der Hand liegt, und einem breiten Rand, der das Abstützen auf Schüsseln oder Töpfen mühelos ermöglicht. Die Reinigung gestaltet sich unkompliziert, da das Metallmaterial keine Rückstände festhält.
