Description
The Workhorse Strainer That Changed My Fermentation Game
This 12"x12" (30cm x 30cm) nylon mesh bag isn't just for nut milk — it's become my go-to strainer for everything from kefir to kombucha SCOBYs. After five years of daily use (yes, the same bag), it's still going strong, which explains why it has over 16,000 reviews and juice bars swear by it.
Built for Real Kitchen Use
- Commercial-grade nylon mesh — 90-micron weave catches pulp while allowing liquid through
- Triple-stitched seams — handles aggressive squeezing without tearing
- Rounded corners design — no more trapped pulp in square corners
- 12"x12" size (30cm x 30cm) — large enough for big batches, small enough to handle easily
- Nylon drawstring closure — keeps contents secure during straining
Beyond Nut Milk: A Fermenter's Swiss Army Knife
Sure, it makes silky almond milk in minutes. But this bag truly shines in fermentation applications. Strain yogurt into Greek-style thickness overnight. Filter kombucha without losing carbonation. Squeeze excess whey from cheese curds. Even use it as a sprouting bag for grains. The nylon construction means it dries quickly (no mold issues like cotton cheesecloth) and cleans easily under running water. One reviewer used theirs over 50 times — mine's well past 200 uses. At this price, it pays for itself in saved cheesecloth within weeks.
🥛 If you only buy one straining tool for your fermentation kitchen, make it this one — versatile enough to replace multiple specialized tools.
