Would this be a fine enough mesh to strain the seeds from pureed strawberries. Need to know for health reasons. Thank you kindly!

It's what I've used for making coulis and fruit sauces for garnish in my restaurants

Hi Terri. Though I have not tried it with strawberries, I believe it definitely would as I use it to strain coffee grounds and it works just fine with that.

Rebecca, this metal mesh should work for you. I have used it to mold strainer filters into delicate shapes and they held the shape after several washings.

The mesh is pretty fine - I use mealworms in it. Not sure what the consistency is of cracked corn but I would say it's probably doable. I think I could put oatmeal in it with no problem if that's a similar size. I also think it's not at all flimsy and seems like a well balanced tray when hanging

It is very fine mesh and would probably work well... I use it for all kinds of things from straining tea to cleaning berries etc... very pleased with it...

I don't think so. The holes are large enough that the seeds would pass through. In my cooking classes we learned to press the seeds from berries in a fine mess strainer. Such as this one... OXO Good Grips 8-Inch Fine Mesh Strainer

I think it would work. I use it to strain curds and whey that I make. I prefer to double it over so it's 2 layers and then I put it in my mesh strainer and it works great. It's very durable. I hand wash and air dry it and then fold it up and store in a plastic bag in between uses. It's very large so you will cut a piece to fit your strainer.

While I haven't tried this on on anything other than boiled potatoes, my feeling is that this would not work very well to mash fresh strawberries. It's round edges would probably just slip around the chunks of strawberry. I think you would have more success using the "grid" type of masher.

I've never tried that. I think the mesh is the same size as the metal strainers.

Yes, the seeds would stay in the strainer. It might be fine enough though, that the puree might struggle to get out.

Not as fine as mesh, but very fine. I strain tea that gets 'loose' front regular tea bags. Hope this helps.

I personally don't think it's great for strawberries. I just did a test. My strawberries were not softened in any way, just got them out of the fridge. But the masher's metal pieces are pretty thick and wide apart. My strawberries never got fully mashed and pieces kept sticking in between the metal. Not sure if you're softening the berries first. But even if you did, I don't think this masher will finely mash berries. Someone else may have had success doing so, but I'd stick with just potatoes for this masher.

Mesh is close knit. I put raspberries in mine and no pulp could get through the mesh.

This is an extremely fine mesh. It is much like a coffee filter. I imagine that the grounds would be incapable of passing through as small grain cheese does not fall through. What a perfect way to reduce our impact on mama earth! I think I might sew a few filters for my husband.

I haven't tried any of the small seeded berries, but there are instructions in the 'recipe booklet' for steaming them. It should work as long as you don't mash the berries after or while they are cooking. (You aren't supposed to mash any of the fruit while it is in the steam...unless you are intentionally trying to get some of the pulp.)

Thank you for taking interest in our set of strainers. I am sorry to hear you had a miss purchase before, but have no fear All Times Finest is here! :P.. Haha but back on topic, these are very sturdy and during. When comparing our quality to the ones of Cuisinart for example, the quality of both are actually quite the same. All our sets should come in perfect condition, and shouldn't be bent or have squished mesh. However, during transport somethings can always get messed up, so if this happens, just contact me straight away and I will sort it out for you in a flash! They will work for almost any seeds or grains as long as they are not grinded/crushed. Quinoa, rice, and other grains which remain in the form how they occur in nature will work. But maybe this isn't the answer to your question. What do you mean exactly with will the strainers work for those grains? Will you be able to clean them in a proper way, than the answer is yes without a doubt. If, you mean something else, please let me know.

I have never tried that but it depends on the size of the particles. The strainer does have double mesh so be advised.I use it to strain larger particles, that is kefir grains. You could try when straining milk solid particles out of ghee but I use either a coffee filter or cheesecloth inside the strainer to catch the solids. It is a great quality product. I have all the sizes.

I tested a few grains of quinoa in my basket and it looked like they were going to get caught in the holes or be forced through. You need something with a finer mesh than this.
