Whenever I make gravy, or really any kind of sauce, I like to smoosh the various vegetables and gravy bits through a fine metal sieve. However, I have broken several of these over the last few years because they are just not up to the task! Does anybody have a recommendation for a high-quality sieve for this purpose? Happy to look at professional solutions. LS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 (edited) I have something that you may wish to buy? A French style rotating hand operated "Mouli". The pictures here of the one I have surplus to my needs. It can be yours for £10.00 posted 2nd Class Recorded Delivery. The identical thing is on eBay for £8.55 postage free in case that is a better option for you? Not I'd add being sold by me and the seller has poor feedback. So you pays your money and takes your risk. Anyway the seller on eBay's description is thus: Food Mill s/s 14cm DIA 27cm LONG Guaranteed Quality Edited February 17 by enfieldspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down South Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Electric hand blender to break down the veg then push through a sieve using the back of a spoon so nothing is wasted. Great for finishing soups too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 You could also use a sock or tights. Do make sure the socks have not been used though. 👍 Or look at Jam sieves for removing the seeds from the like of Blackberry's, i bought one from a cook shop its a better idea than the sock. https://www.procook.co.uk/product/procook-stainless-steel-mesh-colander-25cm?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp={campaigned}&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAz8GuBhCxARIsAOpzk8xK6HTdtTZXoEeHlCHNkkNbm9HGZVyLTMWTGj-6aLRyJGyj3mAWK84aAmyjEALw_wcB#:~:text=812 reviews-,ProCook Stainless Steel Mesh Colander,-25cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 I prefer to use a stick type blender for soup, but then I like my soup with veggies as 'bits' rather than as a puree. They are available as cordless or mains and a wide range of prices - starting quite cheap at around £15, though I suspect that to an extend you get what you pay for.

FloridaBowler Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Would an industrial test sieve be an option? These are "trays" that have wire mesh screens on the bottom to allow particular sized particles to get through... Industrial Test Sieves There are some available on Ebay for pretty cheap if you think this could be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
