As one might guess, these things are a pain in the nose to store. I'm considering Goodwill. (Unless I can find a St. Vincent dePaul around here.) Anyone wanna pay shipping?

My mother processed untold thousands of jars of product through one of these.
When I got big enough I had to use it.
Cooked tomatoes and such are put in that strained then that is put thorough a cheese cloth.
The chinois is a finer meshed version of this for soups and such.
Also a life saver for lumpy gravy.
Another good use is for straining vegetable stock.
