"I bought this on the recommendation of many modernist cooking blogs, to aid in everything from basic straining to making fluid gels. #50 is a good middle ground and does wonders for things like potatoes, but you'll probably end up getting more than one size. If you are buying a set, you can start with a #20, #50, and #120 (as recommended by Modernist Cuisine), and this should cover most bases. The bottom pan is a glorified bowl that the sieve fits into, and will give you a solid base to work on. But if you're tired of raspberry seeds passing through, or need a flat surface and smaller screen to break down fluid gels, this one will serve you well. Pros: - Great build quality. - Included certification document. - Deep sidewalls. - Screen is labeled for quick size identification. - An $120 strainer will make buying other expensive kitchen gadgets a lot easier to justify... Cons: - Expensive, even for a sieve. - Takes up a lot of kitchen space. - Does not make very good drum sounds when you play it with your hands."
* 5 Piece, All Metal Set * 4 Sieves And Frame * The mesh sizes are 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm and 3mm * 4 Different Screens * Ultra Fine, Fine, Medium & Coarse.

"I bought this to use for sifting the dirt I brought home from the Diamond Mine in Arkansas."
"The 4 screens are quite easy to change out & are quite durable."
"This is a handy tool to sift through my mealworms."
"Good price, going to use this for black powder grading."
"Very nice."
"While the TOP (most coarse screen) was fairly easy to remove the center screen I have been unable to remove, therefor making this system unusable to me as I am unable to remove any product which is small enough to go through the center screen (Medium to Fine Size) but too large to go through the last screen (fine to super fine) which to my way of thinking makes it useless for anything."
"Recieved with outer shell bent up."
The depth of the wall to the wire cloth includes a choice of full height (3-1/4" depth), intermediate height (2" depth), or half height (1-5/8" depth). Die-formed stainless steel frame ensures size specification.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I am not reviewing this sieve for it's intended purpose; I have little to no interest in sifting through dirt and rocks. I bought this on the recommendation of many modernist cooking blogs, to aid in everything from basic straining to making fluid gels. #120 is pretty fine, so you'll be using it with fluid gels and similar liquid bases, not so much with solids. If you are buying a set, you can start with a #20, #50, and #120 (as recommended by Modernist Cuisine), and this should cover most bases. The bottom pan is a glorified bowl that the sieve fits into, and will give you a solid base to work on. But if you're tired of raspberry seeds passing through, or need a flat surface and smaller screen to break down fluid gels, this one will serve you well. Pros: - Great build quality. - Included certification document. - Deep sidewalls. - Screen is labeled for quick size identification. - An $80 strainer will make buying other expensive kitchen gadgets a lot easier to justify... Cons: - Expensive, even for a sieve. - A bit cramped compared to the 12-inch. - Takes up a lot of kitchen space. - Does not make very good drum sounds when you play it with your hands."
"I have been using it to strain soups, purees and juices, and it works great."
"Somewhat pricey for cooking but very high quality and certainly works better than cheese cloth."

"But more importantly the new spatula is better than any of the others I have owned and is made of good quality alloys and a good stainless steal that has already stood up to a pH range 1-14 without any damage to it."
"I like Borosilicate glass beakers for mixing batters and for 'whipping' eggs for omelettes together with seasonings."
"Great product."
"I did not look at the description very well and I was looking for pipe cleaner tools that are better than the everyday ones - World Pride Stainless Steel Tobacco Pipe Tamper Reamer Pick Tool Set. I was thinking in my head, which is not always the brightest thing for me to do, that it was like 4 inches long and that it had much smaller tips."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought these to add to my DIY tool set, to help me when I solder or work on circuitry, pcbs and the like. They're lightweight as one would assume, comfortable in the hand and have all the basic qualities you want in a set of tweezers all at a pretty great price (even if they were badly made and broke down, you'd still get your money's worth."
"The tweezers with the extremely fine points on them had a bit of a hook to the tip of them from the grinding, I was able to correct this issue with a knife sharpening stone and now they are sharper than ever."
"Great products hands down, I see a lot of one stars for these products because of shipping."
"I was sick of constantly ruining the tips of my expensive laboratory grade stainless tweezers with CA glue, so I purchased these as a sort of disposable option."
"I got them for doing small work like applying decals onto models."
"However, the picture displayed is not what I received."
"I have not received the 110mm Straight Standard-Tip tweezers."
"The tips on one of the tweezers was already bent even though it came with the protective cap, and another bent after I applied some force to it in an attempt to get a firm grip."
Best Lab Syringe Needles
Other solvents such as Biodiesel, methanol and Isopropyl Alcohol could only remove the markings after several minutes of the syringe being submersed in the solvent, followed by aggressive rubbing of the syringe.Beware of other cheap syringes. Our needles have a large gauge and are a true blunt tip so that cutting/scrapes are unlikely when using our syringes.

"I got this as a replacement for a silicone scraper that I use when cooking in non-stick pans. It probably works just fine as a scraper for cold to warm, or even very warm foods, but not in a hot pan."
"It's hard to find those anymore and I prefer them over the ones with large heads."
"Also incredibly irritating is the product label on this was a total pain in the head to get off the handle."
"I wrapped a piece of rag cloth around the blade of this spatula, secured it with a rubber band and was able to remove the lint and dust clinging inside that tight area."
"It's hard to get excited over a basic, commercial spatula, but this short little workhorse has become my most-used kitchen tool."
"I buy them by the dozen, cause as some reviewers have noted, they ain't made as well as they once were - but I contend they're still better than anything else you could get, so why cut off your nose?"
"But then I noticed that the top of the scraper part was sort of fraying (plastic no longer smooth)... and so dirt would easily just nestle in there."
