xOverview
The Matfer Bourgeat professional bouillon strainer, commonly called a chinois, blends precise filtration with a durable, food-safe design. Made in France, it combines a one-piece Exoglass body and handle with a fine, double woven stainless steel mesh to deliver clear stocks, silky sauces, and refined purées.
What makes it stand out
Built for demanding kitchen tasks, this tool handles a range of textures—from velvety custards to hearty broths—without compromising durability or hygiene. The Exoglass construction is non-stick, non-porous, and easy to sterilize, while the mesh captures fine particles for smooth results.
