I am wanting this strainer to make creme brulee but i need to know if i will be able to strain about a half gallon of mixture. How deep or long is the cylinder.

Its about 4 by 4 by 4 conservatively. The strainer otherwise is great. Happy creme brulee!

It's only 3" deep, so I don't know if it would work for that much of a volume.

About four inches deep. I use it to strain coffee grounds from my French Press coffee maker. The mesh is fairly fine.

You will not be able to dump the entire half gallon in at once, but you can poor it through slowly. 5 inch diameter and about 3-4 inches deep. Supper fine mesh so definatly no lumps in your mixture will get througl

The cylinder is approx. 5 inches deep. It is not as deep as a commercial kitchen size strainer. However, I was able to strain pastry cream and vanilla. sauce.

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.

I just went into kitchen and sifted flour through the small strainer, but I rinsed it out before trying anything else. It worked very well, the rest of the strainers are bigger so they could be used for anything.

I'm not sure about that since I've never tried straining cooking oil with it. However, the strainer is lined with a nice fine mesh, so it should do the job.

This is a super fine mesh "chinois" style strainer. As for making "foams", i've only used a cartridge style whip cream canister to make them.

It doesn't say anywhere, but I would say roughly two quart. It fits into a 3 quart pot I have. I don't think any strainers are actually measured by volume, though, so where it looks to be about 2 quarts, I doubt that is precise.

Thank you for your question. The diameter of the largest strainer is 7-7/8-inch. I hope to have informed you sufficiently. Best wishes, All Times Finest

Dear Happy reader, that is a good question. The lengths of the strainers given in the description excludes the lengths of the handle. The Diameters are given in the description, however the lengths of the handles are 6", 5.5" and 4.6" respectively from large to smallest. Hope this answers your question. If not, just let us know and we will elaborate further.

I use it for straining into wide mouth canning jars all the time. It is a perfect fit and would do great in straining kefir! It is such a fine strainer and we use it so much that I am thinking of actually ordering another one.

Yes. But you can lift out the strainer part and set a finer strainer within it. It would have to be a large one though but it would work in a pinch. Hope this helps you.

There are many different type mesh strainers and mesh size varies. This strainer is almost as fine as a tea strainer. I mainly use this for making soups, and stocks. It is excellent for skimming fat off the top. The mesh size is perfect for gathering the oils, while letting the precious stock return to the pot. It is also great for straining the stock, but your better off using a coarser sieve first. I honestly don't know how I made it this long without this strainer!

I only use it for almond milk. I strain it using half and then half again, so its easier. That is an option if you think it will not hold 1/2 gallon of yogurt.

strainer for what? Honestly, I put this in my coffee machine with non chlorine bleach coffee filters. we have the coffee machines that you push how are much you want. Usually make about 8 cups.

I think the diameter of this strainer is smaller than a can of tuna. It also seems a little small to hold all of the contents.

I'm sure it can but the used oil would probably ruin the strainer. I would probably try a cheap mesh strainer and then afterwards a coffee filter. I would definitely NOT use this on used oil. You might have a really difficult time degreasing this expensive piece of equipment afterwards and it's cheaper to buy a gallon of oil than it is to buy one of these!

I have never tried to strain such items. I use this item for making so-called Greek yogurt. You could get Online and ask the company rep. If the item would work for your needs. Good luck. GINNY
