Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fox Run 3-Piece Stainless-Steel Chinois Set
Customer Review: This is NOT a Chinois - it is a China Cap. Don't be fooled.
Summary: 3 Stars
Not a mesh chinois at all. It's a China cap; a solid metal cone with holes stamped into it.
It's well made, solid, and beautiful. Good piece of equipment.
But don't be fooled by the picture - I think it's the low resolution of the photo that makes it look like this has a mesh screen, like a chinois.
But it doesn't.
Customer Review: Incorrect Picture
Summary: 3 Stars
So, this is actually a china cap, not a chinois. Although the picture shown is a mesh seive, ie chinois, the product shipped is a perforated steel, collander type set up which is actually a china cap. Great for straining soup but not for custards, fruit purees etc.
Had to return it.
Customer Review: A little too small
Summary: 3 Stars
The chinois seems a little too small and light to take the pressure of trying to squeeze tomato pulp, seeds, and skin out from the cooked tomato quarters. The wooden handle, while beautifully made, isn't up to the job. It works, but at the cost of some elbow grease.Customer Review: It's Okay
Summary: 3 Stars
This product is okay. I sent it back. The holes are to big for passing through pastry creams or raspberries puree, etc. I would suggest a double mesh strainer instead of this product.Customer Review: It's ok
Summary: 3 Stars
It is smaller than I imagined and I thought the handle would come off, makes it harder to store. Just have to do small batches and be creative.
