The small sifter is great to use as a flour duster for baking pans and surfaces. It is also good for sifting smaller quantities of ingredients together in recipes. I use the large sifter for straining soup stock& for sifting flour.
This strainer can not be used for rinsing anything small, like quinoa, rice or lentils. They get stuck under the rim. I've never had a strainer have that problem before. I guess this one really is just for sifting dry ingredients. Disappointed that it can't strain multiple things.
