Would this work for rinsing/straining couscous?

Yes, I put my couscous in it to know for sure and it definitely will strain couscous. It is a very large strainer though. You could dump the contents of a Dutch oven into it.

Yes especially the Israeli couscous or the ball type. Very happy with this item.

I think it would. It is a very fine strainer and of excellent quality. I have rinsed lentils and dried peas without losing any.

I have not tried it because I am fairly certain that it would not -- the holes are not small enough to prevent the seeds from slipping through. It is very effective to puree food, but I don't know why they refer to it as a strainer -- I've never used it that way.

I wouldn't know b/c I've never tried doing that! I would use a strainer for that instead, but you can surely give it a try and find out! I love my colander, don't you?

I think it would work to strain lumps unless they are really small lumps.i hope that helps.

Quinoa is just fine for this strainer. I use it for rinsing my quinoa often.

I use mine to rinse quinoa and it works great for that. I don't know how fine Strawberry are so I'm unsure how it would work for that.

I have only used it for straining fresh tomatoes for making sauce. Sorry I cannot give more information then this. Jay.

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

Yes! That's exactly what I bought it for and it works. Just remember, it is not instant, you have to scrub for a few minutes.

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.

Yes, bought it for that reason. Also use it frequently to rinse quinoa. None of the quinoa slips through!

Yes, is good but you should put a sponge around of the input strainer. I have a sponge around and all goes good.Good luck.

It can with the right recipe. Make sure you follow the recipe that comes with the user's booklet. Use FAGE's total product as a culture, and make sure you strain it. Amazon offers several strainers. Good Luck.

Pretty much. The thermometer is over a foot long, so as long as you have at least an inch of fluid, this will work. The slider clip goes along the full metal length, so you can clip it onto anything less than a half inch thick or so. I've often used it in my KitchenAid bowl and it works perfectly when pasteurizing egg whites for meringues.

Hi Faith, I am not sure what you mean by your question as I have never made any oil infusions. The mesh is really fine and will prevent almost any sized particle through to the cup except for very fine powders and grains. I looked at some strainers for oil infusers and I think that this should work for you. I am guessing that you will strain your oil infusion through the strainer? It should be very good for that, but I guess that it might depend on how thick the oil is. Wish I could give you a more definitive answer. I hope that this helps. Regards, Coolahoo

I have not owned the strainer long enough but I think it will be fine. Umbra is a good brand.

I expect it would work, but you might need a liner (like a coffee filter) in the strainer to avoid having it pour through. When I put my yogurt in, it's already fairly thick.
