No matter how good the quality of the baked goods, you can not compare homemade buns with anything! Professional bakers advise before starting the process of baking bakery products, necessarily sift loose products (flour, powdered sugar, cocoa) through a flour sieve. Sifted products are not only cleared of small debris such as husks and insects, but they also acquire uniformity, are saturated with oxygen and are more accurately measured. A sieve for sifting the flour allows you to make the dough lush, surprisingly soft. It was not for nothing that in olden days bread, baked from sifted flour, was called "sieve" and was more expensive than "furry" bread, baked from wholemeal flour.
The sieves differ in the diameter and size of the cells: the smaller the cell, the more careful the bulk product is subjected to. Also modern flour sieves differ in the construction and material from which they are made.
Wood Sieve
A wooden sieve for flour is a traditional kitchen utensil. The very first sieves were a wooden rim with a grid of fastened frequent horsehair, they were usually called "sieve" in Russia. Gradually the grid was replaced by a metal wire woven from a very thin wire, and with the invention of synthetic materials for the fabrication of a mesh, nylon threads began to be used. The rim is often made of plastic or metal. Although some housewives now prefer wooden sieves, believing that such utensils are more environmentally friendly.
Metal sieve
Modern metal sieves for flour are made from high quality stainless steel. For convenience, the device is often equipped with one handle (like a scoop) or two handles made of plastic or rubberized plastic. A metal sieve can be safely washed in a dishwasher.

Sieve-mug
It is very convenient with the help of a sieve-mug for flour to sift loose products directly into a baking dish. The bottom of this product is equipped with a special design in the form of two asterisks on the lever. Due to the free rotation of the lower sprocket, the flour passes without delays through the cells, since the blades break the lumps, and all foreign impurities remain on the net. The control mechanism is in the handle of the sieve. When you press the key, the metal spring contracts, the blade rotates in the mechanical sieve for flour, and the product is sieved. The device is equipped with two lids, which ensure tightness, and has a measuring scale.
Uniform sieving allows not only sowing flour for baking, but also panning pieces of meat or fish, as well as distributing powder from sugar powder or cocoa on the surface of donuts , rolls, cakes and other bakery products.
