Okay, so I’ve been getting into baking lately, and my old sifter was just not cutting it. It was one of those squeeze-handle ones, and it was constantly getting jammed. Plus, it was a pain to clean. So, I decided to try out this “Androck” flour sifter I saw online. It looked pretty classic, with a hand crank, and I figured it was worth a shot.
Getting Started
First thing I did was unpack the thing. It came in a simple cardboard box, nothing fancy. The sifter itself is all metal, feels pretty sturdy. It’s got this red wooden knob on the crank, which is a nice touch. I gave it a quick wash with some soap and water – gotta make sure it’s clean before I use it, right?
Putting It to the Test
I decided to make some scones, which require sifting flour, baking powder, and salt together.
I put all ingredients in sifter.
I started turning the crank, and wow, it was so much smoother than my old sifter! The flour just flowed right through the mesh, no clumps or anything. It felt really satisfying to use, honestly. The crank was easy to turn, and the whole thing felt pretty solid in my hand.
The Results
- Smooth Flour: The sifter did a great job of breaking up any lumps in the flour. My dry ingredients were perfectly combined.
- Easy to Use: The hand crank was way easier to use than the squeeze-handle on my old sifter. No more hand cramps!
- Easy to clean: It’s easy to clean.
My scones turned out great! Light and fluffy, just the way I like them. I’m pretty sure the sifter played a part in that. I’m definitely going to be using this Androck sifter for all my baking projects from now on. It’s a simple tool, but it makes a big difference!
