Even before the advent of bread, our ancestors had realized that seeds and grains could be made more digestible or aromatic by pounding and grinding.
Pieces of cloth filled with berries were the first juice extractors. Loosely
woven cloths suspended on wooden frames were the predecessors
of modern sieves and strainers.
Fast forward to today, and
modern technology and new materials have resulted in many tools
and equipment that were previously only dreamed of.

Steel strainers, now commonly found in every kitchen, is just
one such example. There are many different types of steel
strainers and depending on their size and perforations,
they are used for straining and separating a wide variety
of things.
Steel strainers include those for food
such as rice strainers, soup strainers, coffee strainers
and tea strainers, as well as those for unwanted materials
such as basket strainers and sink strainers.
Of course, there are strainers made from other materials too, such as plastic and nylon. However, steel strainers have more advantages. Steel strainers are long-lasting and hard-wearing.
They are resistant to stains and odors, which them perfect
