Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oxo Good Grips Flour Sifter
Customer Review: Nifty sifter
Summary: 4 Stars
I've tried to up the rating to five stars and can't figure out how to do that. I originally gave this four stars because I feel the design could be greatly improved with very little change. Based on experience with other sifters, I felt I was being too tough and wanted to change to five stars.
When I was a kid (many, many years ago) my mother had a sifter than had a long, straight handle. You could shake this sifter side to side or hold the sifter in one hand and rapidly move the handle back and forth with the other hand. It was the best sifter I've ever used and I've been looking for something like it ever since I started baking on my own. This sifter gave me a hint that it might work the same way that old sifter did, and it's close.
The sifter is very well made. It is about 4 1/2" in diameter across the top and 3 1/2" across the bottom. It will hold about three cups of flour, although it's only marked to two cups. The "cup" portion is definitely quality stainless steel. The pivot point of the handle is hidden under the "comfort grip" portion, so I can't tell what the connection is like. There are no holes or openings in the "cup" portion that will leak flour. The caps are a nice addition, especially the bottom cap. With that on, you don't need to be concerned about the sifter dusting everything in the cupboard with flour.
Another reviewer said it is very slow. I've just tried mine out, and found out a few things I'd like to share. Please keep in mind that I use home-milled, whole grain flour, so my experience might be a little different from one using all-purpose flour.
If I put less than 2 cups of flour in the sifter, it worked better than if I filled it up. When I filled it, hardly any flour would sift. I found shaking it from side to side was on the slow side, even with a smaller amount. Using the memory of my mother's sifter, I tried holding the cup and moving the handle back and forth with my other hand. This worked VERY well, and the sifting was as fast as any other sifter I've used. When moving the handle back and forth it was going across the entire bottom and ending against the side. The little "bump" against the side seemed to make the difference between fast and slow sifting. My problem is that I have small hands and it was uncomfortable for me to put my hand across the top of the opening.
OXO, if you're listening, please make a smaller size of this with a smaller "can". This would be the perfect sifter if it was small enough for me to hold comfortably in one hand. And that's saying a lot since I've been looking for a good sifter for 30 years!
Description of Oxo Good Grips Flour Sifter
No squeezing, no cranking, just a gentle shake, shake, is all it takes to sift flour for pastries and cakes. Then there's the other major complaint about sifters: they always leave flour dust in your cabinets. Not this one thanks to top and bottom plastic lids.Cookware
