Alright, let’s talk about this here commercial flour sifter thing. You know, the thing they use to make sure your flour ain’t got no rocks or bugs in it. It’s a big deal if you’re makin’ lots of bread or somethin’.
I seen these things, they’re pretty big, not like that little cup thing I got at home. Some of ’em are real monsters, like, taller than me! They say these big ones can sift a whole lotta flour at once, like, for a whole bakery or somethin’. They got these different size screens, ya know? Like, some are real fine, some are a bit bigger. The fine ones, they get out all the little bitty stuff, and the bigger ones, well, they let the bigger stuff through, I guess. They say the screens go from 2 to 500 mesh, whatever that means. Sounds fancy, huh?

Now, they make these sifters from different stuff, but mostly, it’s metal. Keeps things clean, ya know? And they come in different sizes too. Some are small, some are big, like I said, depends on how much flour you’re siftin’. They talk about diameters and all that, 400 to 2000mm, but all I know is, some are big and some are small.
Why do you need a sifter anyways? Well, it gets all the lumps outta the flour. You know, when the flour gets all stuck together? A sifter breaks that up, makes the flour nice and fluffy. And it gets rid of any bugs or dirt that might be in there. Nobody wants to eat a bug in their bread, right? These fancy sifters, they can handle all kinds of flour, too. Hard wheat, soft wheat, that corn flour stuff, whatever you got.
- Keeps flour clean: No more rocks or bugs in your bread!
- Gets rid of lumps: Makes your flour nice and fluffy for baking.
- Works for all kinds of flour: Hard wheat, soft wheat, corn flour, you name it.
These sifters ain’t just for flour, though. Some folks use ’em for other stuff too, like sugar or cocoa powder. Anything that gets lumpy, I guess. And they say these machines can be used for liquids too, but I don’t know how that works. Sounds messy to me.
Now, some of these sifters are real fancy, got motors and all that. They vibrate and shake the flour, makes it go through the screen real fast. They say it’s “efficient” and “easy to operate.” Sounds good, but probably costs a pretty penny. Other ones are simpler, just a big ol’ thing you shake yourself. Gets the job done, but you gotta put in some elbow grease.
If you’re runnin’ a big bakery or somethin’, you definitely need one of these big sifters. Can’t be sifting all that flour by hand, that’d take all day! But even if you’re just bakin’ at home, a little sifter ain’t a bad idea. Makes your cakes and bread turn out better, ya know? No more lumps, just nice, smooth flour.
So, there you have it. That’s about all I know about these commercial flour sifter things. They keep your flour clean, get rid of lumps, and come in all shapes and sizes. If you’re serious about bakin’, you probably need one. And that’s all there is to it.
