I remember when I was first switching out non-healthy with healthy back when I was learning about everything from real butter to Teflon to raw milk to stainless steel. A little overwhelming? Only since I needed to throw pretty much everything out of my kitchen and start over. No big deal.
I was just at the point of getting stainless steel pots and pans when my friend said, “Now you need to get rid of all those plastic utensils that leach chemicals into your food while you cook.” I thought I would cry. Was there no end to all I needed to replace?
I wish I would have relaxed a little (lot) more then. Switching to healthier cookware and real food was and is super important, but not worth freaking out over. Slowly but surely it’s all been replaced. It didn’t need to change overnight.
Now stainless steel has become a favorite in my kitchen. If it is stainless steel, I love it and know it is safe!
I recently had the privilege of reviewing this ECALOO Stainless Steel Super Fine Mesh Strainer.
It is made well and super helpful for straining small pieces of food out of liquid. I am especially excited to have this on hand for the times I have once again created lumpy gravy! This will save Thanksgiving, no doubt.
What a great way to strain bacon bits out of grease or small bones out of broth. I’ve only had this in my kitchen for a couple of weeks, but I can tell it is going to be a utensil I reach for over and over!

I would love to win one of these! What are your thoughts on silicone spatulas? I love to get every single bit of my expensive peanut butter out of the jar!! And if you don’t like silicone, what do you use?
Erin – you might want to check out Debra Lynn Dadd’s website, http://www.debralynndadd.com. I’ve been following her for a few years. She suffers from MCS and is a consumer advocate for toxic free living and how to identify toxins and chemicals we’re exposed to daily, and has written a couple books. She’s researched the use of silicon cookware quite a bit and recommends it. She’s got a lot of great information on just about anything!
Thanks Trudi! I will check her out :)
I’ve been needing one with a fine mesh. Thanks for the chance to win!
Thank you for the giveaway! I’d love to win!
Ooooohhhhhh…..I love stainless steel utensils! What a great tool! I could definitely use one in my kitchen!!
We have a stainless strainer but it’s much bigger and the holes aren’t as fine. We need this in our household :)
How wonderful! I can see using this more often than my canning funnel (which is used nearly every day!)
Ditto! I wish I had stressed less too. I use stainless steel, glass, and cast iron exclusively now, but it did take a while to convert. I also don’t do microwaves, and when we moved into a new house a couple of weeks ago with an installed microwave…let’s just say my kids were grinning big. Strangely, it just totally stopped working 5 days after we moved in. I honestly didn’t do a thing, but they’re skeptical. It was kind of sad because its clock made a great kitchen timer! :)
This would be awesome!
Would love to win — that looks like it would real work nice. Have never seen one.
Super handy tool. Thanks!
This would be a great addition to my kitchen! Thanks for the chance to win one.
I love stainless steel in the kitchen, but there are plenty of non-stainless steel utensils too.
I love stainless steel. All of my pans are stainless or cast iron. I ordered one of the strainers, but would love to win one since April 6 is my 70th birthday. If I win one, I will be giving it to my soon to be granddaughter for a wedding present.
THANK YOU for the code! I couldn’t wait, I ordered one. Very nice!
This stainless steel strainer looks very well made. I can think of so many uses for it!
Love stainless!
I love stainless steel! Thanks for sharing.
Would love to win this handy little tool.
Thanks.
I need to do some more throwing out of plastic utensils, not because of the plastic thing, but because they’re taking up space in my drawers for all my good utensils! Thanks for the chance to win one! :)
I LOVE stainless steel!! This tool looks like something I need to add to my collection. :)
I could have used that strainer on Easter when I made homemade croutons(in oil). Looks great. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. Happy Easter.
Oh how I do love stainless steel. I’ve got much of mine very inexpensively at IKEA. About the only plastic I have anymore is rubber spatulas (I think they are silicone-does that count ;)
Looks like a must have item for the kitchen!
I was just wanting to buy a stainless steel strainer. Thanks for the chance to win one!

I just started cooking quinoa for my family. At this point, I am messily straining the quinoa through cheesecloth to rinse it before cooking. This strainer would be a much more efficient and quicker tool for that job! Plus, it’s stainless steel!!!

That looks super handy
What a cool utensil! Thanks for the opportunity.
Looks very useful!

I’ve been transitioning for a few years. As Tupperware gets old, it gets tossed and replaced with glass. I also don’t put anything that needs to be reheated in the plastic containers anymore. All my utensils are either stainless, wood, or silicone too.
I would love one of these strainers!!
Would love to get this!
I would love this! We are in the process of switching our kitchen to clean products. Its slow going.
Nice! Thanks for the chance to win. I’ll think about ordering one for $4, too. :)

I have been switching to stainless steel, too. I do like it.

Love your blog! Came on here to get some recipes and saw this post. Thanks!
Wow, this little beauty would be a great multi-tasker. I can think of tons of uses just off the top of my head. My favorite kitchen materials are glass and stainless, both wear very very well and clean up beautifully every time. Best of all, they don’t stain or retain smells from foods. I love that this strainer looks like it is good quality and very sturdy.
Cool! I would love to win this, but if I don’t, I’m pretty sure I’ll be buying one.
I have been switching over to stainless steel too–would love to win this and thanks for the code.
This looks amazing! I would love to win!
I would love to add this tool to my stash…….If I do not win I will order one. Thank you.
I would love to try this strainer..Looks great! !
I switched to all stainless steel pots and pans a few years back. We had the cheap Teflon ones in college and when they started flaking in my food I got a bit worried LOL.
Oh how great!
This would make a great stocking stuffer!
Looks fun to try!
I really need a new strainer. What a great way to get a really good one!
It looks like a very handy tool! Is it dishwasher safe?
I definitely need to change out my strainer! Would love to win this one as it looks well made and a very fine mesh!

Looks like a handy kitchen tool, thanks for the opportunity to try one!
I do love stainless steel! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’d love to have one of those! I don’t have an easy way to strain things out like that. We’re to the point I want to start replacing the plastic cooking utensils I have, but we don’t have the money right now with 3 under 3. I know it’ll happen eventually though so I don’t stress about it. Making healthy food from scratch & teaching our kids to eat healthy as much as possible is more important to me :)
Looks like a handy addition to the kitchen!
This is awesome! I could see me using this alot!
This looks nice!
Sounds great. Lump-less gravy sounds wonderful. :)
This strainer would be used quite frequently in our kitchen; we prefer stainless steel. Thank you!
Yes, I love my stainless steel and my cast iron. :)
Looks like a great kitchen tool! Love your blog and love a good giveaway!
I am still in the process of the same, slowly switching out all plastic and got cast iron pans and this strainer would come in handy. Also for my kefir grains I am trying to locate a nylon strainer but having no luck so if you come across one please let me know. Thanks for all you do
I don’t have any stainless steel tools, but they are nice.
This tool looks especially handy!
We prefer and use stainless steel cookware, etc. in the kitchen. I would love to win.

I have a plastic version of this that I love! Glad to trade it out with a stainless one!

Looks like a very useful tool in the kitchen. Thank you for your blog. I have learned many useful things from you.
