Mrs. Anderson's Baking Hand Crank Flour Icing Sugar Sifter, Stainless Steel, 3-Cup

I was looking to replace an antique sifter and didn't think I could find one like it, until i found this! The only difference is the little wooden detail on the handle but that makes it even cuter. It works perfectly and I'm thrilled that i found it.

This is a good medium-large size sifter. It works as it should but does take a while to properly clean.

This sifter is a replica of the one my mother used and I learned cooking with. I love its simplicity. My fancier, more modern ones are not so efficient as this.

This sifter does the job, I just wish it was more durable, it’s a little flimsy. My first one arrived totally smashed, so the metal is a bit weak.

It works. It is plenty sturdy.

Sturdy and inexpensive. Happy customer.

I'm not sure how to evaluate flour sifters, as I'm pretty new to the baking from scratch game.So far I've bought the occasional cake mix, followed the easy instructions, and baked fairly nice basic cakes.I recently came across a number of articles that pointed out how easy it was to bake from scratch - flour, baking soda, butter, sugar, salt, eggs, vanilla - on recipes such as "Basic 1-2-3-4 cake" and "Basic Vanilla Cake". This made me think we can do better than chomp up the preservatives that go into the cake mixes - specially since pretty much everything is readily stocked in our kitchen, all the time.I came across - and bought - a large bottle of vanilla extract from one of our visits to the local Costco. Now I was getting vested into the interest of cake making.I have a simple battery powered hand mixer - so the only item I was missing was the sifter. I'm not absolutely sure what it does, as any flour I put in effectively comes out, but perhaps the few pieces of larger particles that cling to the screen once I'm done are what sifting is all about.I usually hand it over to our toddlers. They love turning the handle to make the flour fall down. It's great that this is not exactly delicate and breakable. Also great is the turning handle design rather than the clutch-like mechanism on some others - toddlers would not have the grip strength to press a clutch. Our kids love to take part in the cake making process.Long story short - this works great, cakes come out as expected, and takes hardly a couple of minutes more to make from scratch than use a boxed cake mix.

- I'd had this 5-cup sifter on my wish list for some time because I do a lot of baking and although I do have one that's the same crank-style, (which I _much_ prefer over the one-handed squeezing type because the crank style thoroughly mixes the dry ingredients while your sifting) however, my first one only held about 3 1/2 cups. Sad to say, when I finally ordered this one, I discovered that it only has a double-lobed wire-turner, rather than the 4-lobed wire turner. I find it noticeably slower to sift ingredients and not nearly as thorough as the smaller version I already owned. The larger one now sits up on a shelf and I rarely use it. It is certainly functional and seems well made. I'm simply used to the more-efficient (albeit smaller) one I already owned.

I find this sifter very easy to use for sifting either flour or icing sugar and prefer it to other types of sifter I've used over the years. It seems well made and the crank turns easily and is designed so that the wire inside just clears the filter mess without binding on it. I expect it will last years and am glad I bought it.

Excelente producto, muy funcional y fácil de usar. Excelente relación calidad-precio. Lo volvería a comprar.

great thanks

Works great. Much better for my arthritic hands. The ones where you have to squeeze over and over to make it soft, really hurts to use. So glad I found this one very happy with this.

Great product. Inside of handle very sharp. Picked it up and sliced my finger, requiring stern strips. Handle with care.
