Sieve
A
sieve, or
sifter, is a device for separating wanted elements from unwanted material or for characterizing the particle size distribution of a sample, typically using a woven screen such as a mesh or net or metal. The word "sift" derives from "sieve". In cooking, a sifter is used to separate and break up clumps in dry ingredients such as
flour, as well as to aerate and combine them. A
strainer is a form of sieve used to separate solids from liquid.
