What is the difference?
- 1Function: A siever is typically used to separate solids from liquids or to remove impurities from dry ingredients, while a sifter is used to separate fine particles from larger ones.
- 2Design: A siever usually has larger holes or perforations than a sifter, which has smaller holes or a finer mesh.
- 3Usage: A siever is more commonly used in cooking methods such as blanching or poaching, while a sifter is more commonly used in baking to ensure a smooth texture.
- 4Size: A siever is often larger and deeper than a sifter, which is usually smaller and shallower.
Remember this!
Sievers and sifters are both kitchen tools used to separate or remove impurities from ingredients. However, the difference between them lies in their function, design, usage, size, and etymology. A siever is typically used to separate solids from liquids or to remove impurities from dry ingredients, while a sifter is used to separate fine particles from larger ones, especially in baking.
