| Fonctions : | Strainers are used in the kitchen for separating a wide variety of food items; mostly liquids from solids. This is an example of utensil that was used for straining, filtering or sifting. It has a perforated bottom compared to a mesh one that you find in other types of strainers. They can be often difficult to clean and so may leave a resiude from previous food. As such there are a wide variety of strainers that were made, each with their own uses. Examples include a gravy strainer, tea strainer, milk strainer or soup strainers. (some information provided from http://www.british-history.ac.uk/). Graniteware also referred to as Agate or Enamelware and still remain popular in the production of household kitchen items. Solid colour pieces are referred to as 'enamelware' while coloured pieces, are known as 'graniteware'. Both types are made by fusing enamel to metal; it is useful to prevent the deterioration of the metal. Graniteware has been advertisement to be sold at various Toronto retailers since the later 1800s. (some information provided on http://www.country-gallery.com/enamelware.html). |
