Bromwell Flour Sifter available @ Time’s Tin Cup !
A flour sifter is a tool that agitates and pushes dry ingredients like flour, cocoa powder, or confectioners’ sugar through a mesh sieve, eliminating any clumps or lumps.
Sifting flour used to be an essential first step for cooking, as flours ground in small mills varied a lot in texture and quality and sometimes included extraneous chaff, seeds, or even insects. Today’s commercially milled flours, however, are very finely ground, refined, and inspected. In other words, you no longer need to sift them to guarantee successful baking.
Today, flour sifters are coveted for the nostalgia and crafting. Vintage flour sifters are perfect to craft into gift containers, chimes or planters.
