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!
5 of you have the chance to win one of these ECALOO Stainless Steel Super Fine Mesh Strainers! Leave a comment on this post for a chance to win. I’ll draw 5 random winners on Wednesday, April 6.

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?
Trudi says
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!
Erin says
Thanks Trudi! I will check her out :)

We have a stainless strainer but it’s much bigger and the holes aren’t as fine. We need this in our household :)
Kathleen says
How wonderful! I can see using this more often than my canning funnel (which is used nearly every day!)
Karen says
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! :)
Sharon says
This would be awesome!

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.

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.

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 :)
