What is the exact volume that this strainer can hold? The reviews give contradictory numbers.

I have been using it most often lately to rinse rice, it is incredibly useful for that, so I just measured using dry rice, with a dry one cup measure - three cups of rice takes it to the top of the mesh, then you have about an inch of plastic lip.

I use this to strain yogurt which I make in a two quart Yogotherm. It will hold more than a quart--about 5 to 5 1/2 cups initially. But if you're willing to let the whey drain off for 15-30 minutes, you can eventually add a full 8 cups (2 quarts).

It holds a quart. When I make yogurt (starting with a half gallon of milk) I fill the strainer twice to drain all the yogurt, and depending on how long I let it drain (do I want yogurt "cheese" or greek-style?) I'll end up with a quart, more or less, of strained yogurt.

This container easily holds 32 ozs. of yogurt. Initially you do need to empty the container, you have the strainer sitting in, about every 8 hours or so, because the support legs are short, it doesn't sit high enough to keep the yogurt from sitting in the moisture.

The shaker I received, the strainer is built into the lid, it's one piece. When you shake it, there's a lid that fits over the strainer.. It's a very snug fit....no spilling!

The strainer measures 5" in diameter. The mesh holes are larger on the outer rim, at approximately 1/4", but the inner holes are down to around 1/8". It is not heavy, but feels sturdy.

It looks like it holds about 3 gallons. It is still light enough that I can lift it up and down from the sink (and I have a bad back).

I measured and it holds 48 oz to the fill line and can hold up to 56 oz without spilling over the top.

It's calibrated to hold up to 1000 ml or 4 cups of liquid, with room still for a shallow space between liquid and bottom of strainer. Works well, seems sturdy, good product.

The mesh is very sturdy, does not bend. The pot would have to be the right size for the strainer.

Sent the strainer to my daughter as a gift, however I read this in one of the reviews "The basket itself tapers quite bit to a smaller, rounded edge, diameter on the bottom (approx 7.25/7.5) than on the top, but the legs and feet do not, so with the 4 legs it's still 9.5 inches in diameter at the bottom." Hope this is helpful.

the base of the strainer fits ON a 4 quart pot. the strainer safely drains IN a standard probably 5-6 quart pot (large spaghetti pot) if you bought a 2-3 quart strainer it should safely fit inside the pot.

This strainer is 14 3/4 inches end to end including the hooks. The metal part of the strainer is 7 3/4 inches around. Hope this helps. It is not as sturdy as I would like, but it is okay. I don't use it in the dishwasher.

Its hard to give a full answer because it isn't clear what you are trying to do with this. It doesn't hold anything. It is a funnel. I would say the capacity is about a half-litre or a little less. This is not a milk strainer one would use in cheese-making to strain raw milk. If you are using it to strain boiled milk to remove the skin that forms, it would probably work, though the small removable strainer might clog.ANd I don't think you would need a funnel for that anyway.

I believe that is the length of the handle. Strainer is about four inches in diameter.

I don't really have a measurement for you except to say very,very fine. Straining for yogurt,cheese and butter is why I purchased it and it works very well with no loss of solids.

Sorry, I can't be of help. All I know is that the 6-3/4" strainer is double mesh. It is very fine. As the other responder mentioned, Quinoia will absolutely will not pass through the strainer.

Not sure what the diameter is but fits perfectly in regular mouthed mason hars and yes the strainer comes out.

I reviewed the 15-inch stainless steel mesh strainer. There were two sizes available when I ordered - 10 or 15 inch. My guess is that the 15-inch has sold out and they transferred the reviews to the 10-inch or they consolidated all the reviews because the product is virtually the same except for length.

It is a a sturdy strainer and does hold small grains, including quinoa. I haven't used it enough to give a long term use report, but given its sturdiness, I expect it to last a long time.
