The Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Sieve Strainer is a 200mm professional kitchen sieve combining an Exoglass composite frame with a fine stainless steel triple-layer mesh. Exoglass is a glass-fibre reinforced composite material developed specifically for professional kitchen use — it is heat-resistant, non-absorbent, and will not warp, rust, or harbour bacteria in the way traditional wooden or basic plastic-framed sieves can over time.
The triple-layer mesh construction is the defining feature here. A single-layer mesh will pass particles that a triple-layer arrangement catches, and in a brigade environment where sauce consistency and pastry finesse matter, that difference is noticeable. The fine mesh is well suited to passing custards, fruit coulis, velouté, bisques, and fine dry ingredients where a coarser sieve would leave too much through.
From a practical standpoint, this sieve offers a few clear operational advantages:
- Exoglass frame resists heat, chemicals, and heavy daily cleaning without degrading
- Triple-layer fine mesh delivers consistent filtration results across repeated use
- Non-porous material does not retain odours or flavours between preparations
- Lightweight build at 375g reduces fatigue during extended pastry or sauce work
- Dishwasher-safe construction supports efficient end-of-service cleaning
At 200mm this is a mid-sized sieve suited to the demands of a professional kitchen rather than domestic use. It works well in both saucier and pastry sections. For kitchens requiring larger-volume straining in a single pass, a larger-diameter sieve from the same range may be a more practical choice.
If you are unsure which mesh grade or size best fits the preparations your kitchen runs, our team are happy to help you choose the right option before you order.
