Sifter
Cooking Utensil
A 'sifter' is mainly found in kitchens, not on construction sites or science labs.
Remember to rinse the sifter after sifting powdered sugar for the icing.
Fine Separation
A 'sifter' separates small from large particles, often in baking to aerate ingredients.
Using a sifter ensures your cake comes out light and fluffy.
Not for Liquids
Unlike a 'strainer,' a 'sifter' is used for dry ingredients, not to drain liquids.
I need a sifter for this flour, not a strainer.
