Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Rose & Crown, a gastropub in Harrogate, was struggling with inconsistent sauce textures due to their old, warped metal sieves. They upgraded their kitchen tools to include the Matfer DM599 Exoglass Strainer to improve quality and  speed.

"We take our sauces seriously, and  our old strainers just weren't up to the job. This Matfer sieve is a completely different beast. It's incredibly sturdy, the mesh delivers a perfect strain every single time, and  the handle doesn't get hot. It’s made our prep noticeably smoother."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The result? The team reported a 30% reduction in time spent on straining tasks and  completely eliminated re-straining, improving overall kitchen efficiency.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • It's ready to go right out of the box – no assembly needed.
  • Before the first use, give it a thorough wash in warm, soapy water.
  • Notice the two small hooks on the rim? Use these to rest the sieve securely on pots and  mixing bowls for hands-free work.

Keeping It Going

  • For the easiest clean, rinse the sieve under a tap immediately after use to stop food particles from drying in the fine mesh.
  • The entire unit is commercial dishwasher safe, making sanitation quick and  effective.
  • To protect the fine mesh, avoid scrubbing it with metal scourers or steel wool.
  • Store it by hanging it from the loop on its handle. This protects the mesh from being dented or damaged in a drawer.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Strainer

Not sure what fits best? Finding the perfect strainer can make a huge difference to your prep. Here’s a quick guide on what to look for.

Mesh Fineness is Key

A fine mesh (1mm or less) is essential for silky sauces and  delicate dusting. For draining pasta or washing vegetables, a much coarser mesh is more suitable.

Look at the Frame Material

Professional kitchens need robust frames. Exoglass or stainless steel won't warp under heat or break under pressure like cheap plastic alternatives will.

Consider Handle Design

A comfortable, heat-resistant handle is non-negotiable for safety, especially when you're working with large volumes of hot liquids like stocks or soups.

Size & Shape for Versatility

A 200mm (8-inch) diameter is a fantastic all-rounder for most tasks. Also, check for features like resting hooks, which are a massive help for hands-free use.

Prioritise Easy Cleaning

Look for dishwasher-safe models with smooth, seamless construction. This prevents food from getting trapped and  ensures the highest levels of kitchen hygiene.

What's the Big Deal With Exoglass?

You see 'Exoglass' and  might wonder if it's just fancy marketing speak. It's not. Exoglass is a high-tech composite material, developed specifically for the intense heat and  rough-and-tumble of professional kitchens. Unlike standard plastic, it’s non-porous (so it won’t stain or absorb odours) and  it's heat resistant all the way up to 220°C. Think of it like the carbon fibre of the kitchen world. A normal plastic handle might soften or warp if rested on a hot pan, and  a metal one will quickly become too hot to touch. The Exoglass handle on this strainer stays cool, comfortable, and  keeps its rigid shape, giving you the confidence to work right next to the heat without a second thought.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: Essential for creating perfectly smooth, high-end sauces, purées, and  bisques that define a signature dish.
  • Pâtisseries & Bakeries: The ultimate tool for achieving lump-free flour, super-fine icing sugar, and  professional cocoa dustings.
  • Boutique Hotels & Caterers: Ideal for preparing delicate custards, jellies, and  clarifying stocks for a wide range of menu items.
  • Artisan Food Producers: A must-have for straining jams, jellies, or sifting fine ingredients for premium, small-batch products.
