Chinese Strainer
Appears in
Published 1985
A circular steel-mesh strainer attached to a long split-bamboo handle. Strainers come in many sizes, from as small as the average palm to as large as 14 inches in diameter. For all-purpose use I prefer one 10 inches in diameter.
In addition to the specialized utensils listed above, I suggest the following to complete your Chinese kitchen:
- oval Dutch oven
- large roasting pans
- frying pan, cast iron, 10 inches in diameter
- round cake pan
- selection of heatproof dishes
- china dishes
- strainer, a fine, all-purpose household strainer
- rolling pin, heavy hardwood
- cutting board, wood preferred
- wood spoon
- paring and boning knives
- small utility knife
- dough scraper
- hand graters, small and large
- masher
- garlic press
- kitchen shears
- rubber spatula
- cooking thermometer, especially for deep-frying
- kitchen scale
- ruler
- cheesecloth
