can this be used for sifting powdered sugar and does it work?

I have two of these and I use one exclusively for confectioners/powdered sugar for making frosting. It works great!

I tested mine with granulated sugar. It work with a little less than a cup. Frosting should be the same.

Yes. This is a high quality, heavy duty cutter. I haven't done sweets in it, though I'm certain it will handle them.

It will should work ok for honey but I have to be honest never used it for that purpose.

Yes, it would work for granulated sugar, but its small compared to the brown sugar container (which does NOT have the shaker option)

I've used it for making caramel multiple times. Most of the time when making caramel/cooked sugar, I don't have enough in the pot to be deep enough for a standard candy thermometer, but the thermapen only needs the very tip to be submerged to take an accurate reading, so it has worked for me. I will note that I usually have a time of it afterward getting the sugar off the probe, but I think this would be true for most thermometers

I have not used it for that purpose, but it would probably work. I use mine to scoop rice coal and it is great for that. The bottom is rounded, not flat, so it would likely not get the stove perfectly clean.

I use it for cocoa powder (cappuccino drink), and it works great. Just be careful to keep it in an upright position during storage to minimize excess powder spillage.

Since the container seals when you close it, it would work for sugar as well as flour.

Hi, The strainer worked great for me ,I live alone and need to make cardamom cookies. It can sift moderate quantities of flour but it will only get large lumps sifted. If you need fine flour for pastries or icing -it wont work

Probably not. Too light weight. Designed for beverages that require mixing but not pulverizing. I used for juice with small amount of protein powder, or stirring up chocolate milk. Mine didn't last but a couple of weeks, using only 1 or 2x/day. Battery OK, mixer stopped working. I suggest looking at the baby food grinders that have a crank. Seem to range about $9-15. They are small and easy to take apart to wash, so you don't have to deal with a big blender. I saw one that works like a sieve in a bowl, so you mash the food and the puree goes into the bowl. Lift out the sieve and serve from bowl. If you cook rice soft enough, you can mash the rice thru any sieve you have(larger mesh is best). Might even be able to mash it fine enough with a fork.

Yes! You can use it for anything that calls for coconut oil. I've made sugar scrubs with it as well.

I bought it to make soap and it works great. I believe it would do just fine for candles also. Hope this helps.

I have only used it for grinding dry spices/herbs (and it works very well for this). Cumin seeds, whole dried chiles, sugar into powdered sugar, peppercorns. It's done everything I have needed. I have not ground fresh herbs or garlic and would personally not do so unless someone else tried it with their first. ;)

I don't think so - you'd want a finer mesh. I use a small sieve. This is really for salt or possibly granulated sugar.

I haven't used it for a sugar scrub. Need to give it a try, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. It worked great for soap. It has a thick, smooth consistency.

It can. It will remove powder residue. With a brush it will remove copper and lead fouling as well but for heavy build up somthing like Sweets may be needed. Follow the directions with solvents.
