Do you have problems with these clogging if the food has texture or small chunks like quinoa or steel cut oats?

I had some luck with textures- but also some trouble. It really depends. Most everything went in fine, but not always out easily. My oatmeal was fine- but it was also pured with fruit, which helps. I had a ground turkey/peas/carrots combo that gave me trouble. In the end, the clogs weren't bad thru the spout, but much more difficult while using the spoon attachment. I loved the system so much for storage, that in the end, if there was a major clog, I'd just cut off the top and spoon feed from the pouch.

Yes. This is an issue with chunky food. Quinoa shouldn't be an issue. I sometimes use a chopstick to help push the food down and push slowly.

Some smaller clumps definitely get through. The slots are fairly wide, but I think the slots allow for better sifting in general.

I had the same problem with my first few batches.The solution for me was to put a pat of butter or (more recently) a little coconut oil--2 tsp or so for 1 1/2 cups of dry oats.I measure my steel cut oats in the rice cup and add water to the appropriate line under "porridge." Toss in some salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and some butter or coconut oil, use the porridge setting, and set the timer to have it done at 6:00 AM. Comes out perfect and delicious every time, with no mess.I have not had to soak or adjust portions at all. Just use the rice cup and the lines on the bowl.

The few times I have rinsed I just put the quinoa in a fine strainer and rain water over it. Most of the time I don't even do that. I have not noticed a difference either way.

Yes, the capsules work OK but do get stuck occasionally. I think the capsules work better if you wash them out immediately after making your cup of coffer otherwise the holes tend to clog.

Almost! Actually, I *do* use this to rinse quinoa and the little buggers don't go through the mesh BUT a few will get stuck in the openings and around the rim. :)

There seems to be no problem of sticking. If I load too many/much potato it get messy, But my wife lets me rice potatoes for our family dinners. They are very fluffy without that beat up feel from a mixer.

Nope, haven't had issues with any cereal. I had both those in there and they were fine.

Yes..the finer ones will leak through a bit. This doesn't bother me too much because I tend to use a larger cut leaf.

Thank you for taking interest in our set of strainers. I am sorry to hear you had a miss purchase before, but have no fear All Times Finest is here! :P.. Haha but back on topic, these are very sturdy and during. When comparing our quality to the ones of Cuisinart for example, the quality of both are actually quite the same. All our sets should come in perfect condition, and shouldn't be bent or have squished mesh. However, during transport somethings can always get messed up, so if this happens, just contact me straight away and I will sort it out for you in a flash! They will work for almost any seeds or grains as long as they are not grinded/crushed. Quinoa, rice, and other grains which remain in the form how they occur in nature will work. But maybe this isn't the answer to your question. What do you mean exactly with will the strainers work for those grains? Will you be able to clean them in a proper way, than the answer is yes without a doubt. If, you mean something else, please let me know.

Haven't used it for quinoa yet. Haven't noticed other food getting stuck in the edge though.

I have had the same issue. I contacted PUR customer service and they said to run water through the filter before using it. They stated that during packing and shipping the charcoal can cause dust sediment. Since then I have not had any issues using the filters. I to have a Keurig and have not had an issue with clogging since then.

Check feeder for food clogging. You can also email the company, they are very helpful.

The holes are small enough to contain millet or orzo, or even soup pasta, but you might have to use a fine wire mesh strainer for quinoa. They are very small, but I don't have the equipment to measure them. They are large enough to allow water to drain off quickly without backwash. It's a great strainer.

I have used over 30 different types of beans no problems clogging. As with most grinders maintenance will prevent plugging.

Not sure. My grinder just got clogged last week for the first time, but I think it was because of moist beans while on espresso mode. We keep our beans frozen, and I think the beans got damp from condensation. I tossed the beans and I've had no trouble since.

Don't forget to rinse your steel cut oats. I use McCann's and have to rinse the oats 5 or 6 times before using.
