fruit strainer

The listings show stainless steel (including food-grade 304), polypropylene/plastic, and 50% recycled polypropylene (rPP).

Fine mesh is commonly used to catch small fruits and fine particles. One food mill listing specifically notes an approximately 1.2 mm filter for producing a smoother texture.

Over-the-sink or expandable colanders with extendable arms, built-in feet, or removable strainers are shown. These designs let you hang the strainer across the sink or set it on the counter for hands-free draining.

Mesh strainer sets list nested sizes such as 3 1/8-inch, 5 1/2-inch, and 7 7/8-inch. Handheld strainers are shown around 6 inches (15 cm) and 8 inches (20 cm), with head diameters reported near 7.3–7.6 inches.

The electric food-mill/tomato strainer is presented for making sauces and jams (listed for tomatoes and berries). Fine-mesh handheld strainers and colanders are described mainly for rinsing, straining, and draining fresh fruits and vegetables.
