A wonderful vintage kitchen workhorse, this aluminum chinois cone strainer set comes complete with two wire stands and a solid wooden pestle. Traditionally used for making applesauce, tomato sauce, fruit purées, jams, jellies, soups, and canning preparations, this classic kitchen tool remains just as useful today as when it was originally made.

Designed to separate seeds, skins, and pulp from fruits and vegetables, the cone-shaped strainer sits securely in the included wire stand while food is pressed through using the wooden pestle. The result is a smoother texture that is perfect for sauces, purées, and preserving recipes.

An especially desirable feature of this set is the inclusion of two matching wire stands in different heights. One stand is approximately one inch taller than the other, allowing the strainer to work with a wider variety of bowls and pots. Having an extra stand on hand is also a practical bonus during busy canning and food preparation sessions.

Whether you're preparing homemade applesauce from orchard-fresh apples, making garden tomato sauce, processing berries for jelly, or adding an authentic vintage tool to your farmhouse kitchen collection, this versatile piece is ready to serve.
