Meshed chinese — Lacor

The Étamine Chinois collection by Lacor brings together conical stainless steel strainers with a fine metal mesh, essential for filtering sauces, stocks, juices and coulis in professional kitchens. Diameters from 18 to 24 cm, with side supports for hanging on the receiving vessel.

What makes the étamine chinois distinctive

The étamine chinois differs from a classic chinois by its very fine metal mesh (étamine), which retains the finest particles and gives an even filter. The stainless body and side supports allow easy use over a saucepan or mixing bowl.

• Stainless steel body and metal mesh, professional finish
• Side supports for stable hanging on a vessel
• Three main diameters: 20, 22 and 24 cm (18 cm also available)

Choosing within the Étamine Chinois collection

What is the difference between an étamine chinois and a classic chinois?

The classic chinois has wider perforations and is used for draining or coarse filtering. The étamine chinois, with its fine mesh, is for precision filtering: smooth sauces, clarified stocks, seedless coulis.

Which diameter to choose?

The 20 cm suits daily use (pan sauces, meat juices). The 22 and 24 cm are preferred in professional kitchens to filter larger volumes (stocks, broths, jellies). The 18 cm is useful for small portions or à la carte work.

How to care for an étamine mesh?

Rinsing immediately with hot water after use prevents particles from clogging the mesh. Gentle brushing along the weave with a soft brush preserves the filtering precision over time. Air-drying, suspended, extends the life of the mesh.
