TO SEIVE OR TO SIFT ..WHAT`S THE DIFFERENCE ?

SIEVE.....
A fine stainless steel wire , plastic or other stranded fine mesh either stretched in a flat circle on a metal or wooden former or made into the shape of a half sphere or inverted cone.
Used for separating large from fine particles , for straining liquids or for reducing soft foods to liquid.


SIFTER.......
A closed cylindrical container with a sieve or perforated top at one end for sprinkling flour , sugar or other powders over food items .




A fact worth  remembering ......soft brown sugar does not get sifted  .


Soft brown sugar has varying amounts of entrapped molasses...its no good in a sifter ......you know now , don`t you.
