strainer

A sieve, fine mesh strainer, or sift, is a device for separating wanted elements from unwanted material or for characterizing the particle size distribution of a sample, using a screen such as a woven mesh or net or perforated sheet material. The word sift derives from sieve.
In cooking, a sifter is used to separate and break up clumps in dry ingredients such as flour, as well as to aerate and combine them. A strainer (see Colander), meanwhile, is a form of sieve used to separate suspended solids from a liquid by filtration.

    Are all sink strainer wastes a universal size?

    Including the ones that come with 1.5 and 2 bowl sinks. They tend to look like the rim and washer that connects to the underside of the sink are larger than on a standard 1 1/2 sink waste to me. But it could be cos they're usually white and standard wastes are black (slimming, I'm told) To...
