great filter work well

Filter is compact and easy to use. It’s perfect with container I use

Needed this to strain 1 1/2 gallons of fryer oil. It works well. Drains quickly and removes most visible particles. Yes, I know that large coffee filters strain to a finer degree but it takes forever for the cool oil to drain through them compared to this strainer’s larger pore size. I believe that the actual oil life will not be extended much longer by using a finer strainer anyway. Oil always degrades over time. That’s why commercial facilities use this type of strainer. That said this filter is big enough to put a large coffee filter in it if you want to. My only concern is that I had to use a 5 gallon pot to strain the grease into since the strainer is so deep. Otherwise, someone would have had to hold it for me while I poured the oil through it. The frame is nice being stainless steel and has a fairly long reach to hold onto the side of a five gallon bucket or pot in my case making it a one man job. It’s easy to clean in hot soapy water and folds to store easily with my fryer. I’m happy with it.I did notice in the reviews that some people said it melted. That’s why you can only use this with cool oil. It is a nylon filter after all. Yes, they do make high temperature filters to drain hot oil but they are high dollar and don’t work any better. Usually only fast food restaurants use them for quick turnaround on less downtime. But I can understand if people did strain hot oil since the strainer doesn’t come with any instructions. I guess they just expect you to know how to use it correctly.

It's a must have when making maple syrup. Bought as a spare, good thing, I ended needing it. Now I need to buy another one for a spare.

Makes filtering oil for your electric fryer a breeze

Got every splinter of bone out of my broth

This is the skinnier jar measuring at 1” not like what the picture shows or mentions as being 1 3/4” in the pic.

This was packaged securely so the hydrometer wouldn't break. The metal tube is sturdy and seems to be well-made. This was our first year making syrup so we didn't have anything to go by. We struggled towards the end of our final boil to know if we were at the right level as our hydrometer never floated but kept sinking.. We ended up stopping because the syrup tasted good and we didn't want to keep boiling it down, risking burning it. We had about 45 gallons of black walnut sap that we boiled down, and since the ratio for black walnut is about 50:1, we figured we should have gotten about 3 quarts. I think we ended up boiling it down too much trying to get the hydrometer to float because we only ended up with about 1.5 quarts.
