Will this strain broth with a clear broth result?

No it is not fine enough. To make an absolutely transparent broth you can not just use a strainer even of the finest mesh. You can come close with a combination of this item plus the use of a jelly strainer. To be completely transparent you must follow directions for consommé in a good cook book, it is not and easy task without serious skill. This item will however work if you just need broth for a clear liquids diet.

The screen is small enough to retain particles up to very small size, so it will eliminate those. I have found it more than satisfactory for my needs. However, it won't have the effect of fine cheesecloth, but it's a lot easier and quicker to clean!

It will let VERY small particles through but it is fairly thorough. It is not large, however, so if it is a large pot, it will take a bit of time.

Yes, but I use a finer mesh when straining my kefir and yogurt. All my strainers are stainless steel.

Absolutely not. You need a true chinois mesh strainer. This is a "china cap" so all of your material will run straight through the strainer.

Yes, if you follow the directions in the instruction/cookbook. It has NOT let me down yet!

yes it will. This is the top-of-the-top of strainers, use it often and without problems on fine loose leaf teas.

I would say that the mesh is medium. We don't get a lot of sediment. The strainer holds enough that 2 1/2 tsp will swell to fill the strainer with brewing.

I recently purchased this bouillon strainer and I do use it when making homemade yogurt. It strains the yogurt very well but, I never pour it straight in. First, I gently spoon a cup or so into the bottom of the strainer and then slowly pour the rest in. If you pour all of it, all at once into the strainer, it causes too much force and some yogurt will be pushed out the bottom with the whey. Just be sure to rinse & wash the strainer immediately after you remove the yogurt. The mesh is extremely fine and would be almost impossible to clean if left to dry. I also make my own homemade chicken & vegetable stocks and it's nice to not have to use all that messy, wasteful cheesecloth anymore. My only minor issue with this item is it's too large to store with my other kitchen utensils. So I hang it on a hook on the side of one of my cupboards. Hope this helps.

I just tested the strainer. The mesh is very fine and I did not see any Amaranth grains fall through.

Sorry, but I cant say that I've ever strained rice because I use the minute rice kind. However...I love this strainer! I've have no problems with it so far:)

When I make stock, I use them to strain out the veggies and meat/bone/fat stuff. It's clear enough for me but if I want the stock clear, clear, I would use a cheese clothe. I rarely use the cheese clothe so... hopefully this helps you. I love my strainers

I am not sure, I've never done it, but think it would be OK. The mesh is very fine. Sometimes I use the strainer to sift gluten free flours and cocoa powder together (brownies, cake ingred.); it is so fine my kosher salt won't always fit through the mesh.

Absolutely! You will need to dip it numerous times until you get the result you desire. I think you'll be very pleased.

I think so. I haven't tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You make the yogurt separately (or just buy non-dairy yogurt) and pour it into this strainer. Yogurt turns into "Greek yogurt".

Yes, it will look very "milky" tho until after the canning process is complete. I've used it to make blueberry pie filling and before it goes into the water bath canner, it looks pretty sick very white-looking, but after the processing time, the most beautiful purple color! Only use the regular Clear Jel not the instant.

Thank you. Did you see the other response about straining the yougart? I think that might be the key. Fage says right on the label that it's strained. I should have known!!!

Yes, they are very flimsy! I freeze my broth in mason jars, wide mouth. If you try this make sure you leave a 1-2 in headspace.

I use this set to strain my Kefir grains from my daily glass of Kefir; and also to strain the grains from Kefir whey when I pour it off after letting the mix ferment a few days during initial preparation... I don't know the particulars of Greek yogurt.
