Product Description
Did you know that incorrect measuring for baking is one of the most common reasons recipes fail? The wrong amount of flour can leave your baked goods tough and dry. This cleverly designed Measuring Flour Sifter can help you get it right by measuring properly. For recipes that call for flour to be first measured then sifted, measure the flour using the top cup and measurement markings. The sifted flour is contained in the removable measuring cup, preventing countertop messes. Does the recipe call for sifted flour, measured? No problem, turn the comfortable crank handle and sift away until the correct amount sifted into the bottom cup. Measurements in cups and milliliters are included on both cups and the cups nest on the sifter for compact storage. The Sifter comes with a fine mesh screen for dusting flour or powdered sugar directly onto a surface.

I switched to a rotary sifter years ago after taking it to the face from those sifters with the metal loop and I couldn't be happier.
But:
-The wire mesh is woven and dries slower than a cast mesh because of the extended wire interface.
-It can take a good number of sifts after the hopper is empty to get rid of everything.
-Handle stride is short and takes more presses that optimum.
-Handle is small and generally can only hold 3 fingers.
 A Little Disappointed... May 13, 2007

I was looking for a sifter that I could you when doubling recipes. This sifter provides the capacity, but I am a little disappointed in its performance. The sifter seems to "jam up" and very little comes out with each pull of the handle. It gets the job done, but slowly. It's relatively inexpensive, so no complaints about the price.
 The 3 screens seem like a good concept, but.... February 3, 2008

Out of the box, this item seemed to work well, although it is made from very thin, bendable metal. The squeeze mechanism worked smoothly. But after 20-30 squeezes, the sifter shape shifted (say THAT three times!) and the screens popped off track, making the whole thing useless. I think part of the problem is that the screens fit snugly down into the sifter, but since the metal is so thin, it is very easy to use it enough to slightly bend the outside out of shape, thus sending the screens off track. I tried and tried to pop them back in, but it just wouldn't happen---the metal had gotten oh so slightly bent and those boogars wouldn't go back in the same way.
I didn't give it 1 star because the handle squeezing mechanism does work well and smoothly.
Long story short...spend more for a better sifter.

I was very pleased to be able to replace my 3 cup triple screen sifter that broke after 36 1/2 years of use. It works well and I am very pleased with the quality of the product. I would definitely order this product again without hesitation. It would make a wonderful wedding gift for anyone who bakes or plans to.

I was a little apprehensive about buying this with no picture, but it works great.
