I love the Oxo brand especially in the kitchen. This mini strainer is super helpful when making smaller meals instead of using a large one or one over the sink. This one is made well. It’s good for a quick pastina lunch for my little one. It’s held up nicely over the years

Strong multi use strainer.
Love this strainer. It it heavy material and sturdy so it won’t rip like the cheap strainers do. It has multi uses, it works well to dust powdered sugar on pastries as well as rinsing fruit.

Practical and easy to store
This mini strainer is so easy to use and it’ll do the job when baking or even infusing a tea. Cleaning is also very easy and it’ll not rust in the wrong run. It’s a practical thing you must have!

Its durability and material used
The asdembly is very sturdy and light weight and the material used is very durable. Cleaning it very easy, but have to be careful as it might leave some small particles behind, so, wash it thoroughly.

Great tool for everyday.
Great light weight and effective. Its design makes it easy to store in drawer. Its performance is great and good for straining tea. I use it for tea but it can also use to drain unnecessary liquid from can vegetables also.

Great for portable use
This strainer provides a easy use without getting out a big bulky strainer. I uses for cocktails, matches and even a small batch of sticky rice. Easy to clean also

Handle broke in 14 months
Usually OXO is a reliable brand, but for the handle to break in 14 months is disappointing performance.

Every Kitchen Needs One
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the OXO Soft Works Three inch strainer. Being a stay at home mom and also the wife of a farmer we use strainers, big & small, all the time. I always keep all my bacon grease but before I got the 3 inch fine mesh strainer I always had little pieces of bacon in it and it drove me crazy. Now I just run my hot semi-hot grease through the three inch fine mesh strainer and it gets all the little bits of bacon out and my grease looks super clean. I was very impressed by how much it collected. I’ve also used this strainer to put powdered sugar on cookies and even sifted some flour through it as well. Many different uses. This is a very high quality product.

Perfect Strainer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using it for the past several days, I can confidently say it has become one of my most-used kitchen gadgets. It has a wide, sturdy lip that provides extra stability when straining foods over a pot or bowl. I never worry about the contents spilling out the sides, even when straining a large batch of pasta or rinsing quinoa. The lip also gives me a secure grip, protecting my hands from steam when pouring hot liquids. Compared to other fine mesh strainers I've owned; this one is far more durable and shows no signs of wear.

A Great Product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OXO makes the best kitchen Products! I have used OXO for years and it is the only one I will buy. This strainer is so easy to use and I love the size. The handle is plastic and easy to grip. You can use this strainer for anything in the kitchen to swift like flour. I also use this to separate my egg yolk from the white. It works great at separating. I have used this for small jobs like when I make my gravy and I am only using a little flour. If you have not tried OXO products give them a try! You will be using the best kitchen products around.

So Convenient!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OXO Soft Works 3in/7.6cm Fine Mesh Strainer is a huge convenience in the kitchen. There are so many things that you can use it for, like loose tea or as a fine sifter for flour and powdered cake topping. Its light weight and very easy to clean. The longer I have it my kitchen, the more idea's I come up with for its use. Once you start using it, you cant live without it!

Convenient and efficient
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this a couple weeks and already used it several times. It's handheld and easily stored...not like the giant ones that keep your drawers from opening and you have to contort your hand to mash it down to open the drawer. Sturdy and efficient!
