The Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Bouillon Strainer is a conical strainer built for filtering stocks, sauces, and bouillons in professional kitchens. It uses a triple-layer stainless steel mesh cone paired with an Exoglass handle — a glass-fibre reinforced composite material developed by Matfer Bourgeat specifically for commercial kitchen use. The result is a tool that balances fine filtration with the durability and hygiene standards that busy kitchens demand.In day-to-day production work, the difference between a single-mesh strainer and a triple-layer construction becomes clear when stock clarity matters. The finer filtration produces cleaner, more consistent results in consommés, refined sauces, and finished stocks. The mesh holds its shape under firm pressure from a ladle or pestle and does not distort with repeated heavy use — a common failure point on lower-quality alternatives. The Exoglass handle remains cool during use, resists corrosion, and will not splinter or absorb odours over time. Triple-layer mesh produces finer, cleaner filtration than single-mesh alternatives Exoglass handle is heat-resistant, dishwasher-safe, and will not corrode or splinter Mesh retains its shape under firm pressure from a ladle or pestle Stainless steel construction resists staining and cleans thoroughly Lightweight enough for comfortable single-handed use during service There are no installation requirements. The strainer suits hook or rail storage and is compatible with standard commercial dishwashers. The 255mm mesh diameter makes it a practical choice for medium-batch production — kitchens passing very large volumes of stock in a single session may find a larger-diameter strainer offers better throughput.This is a reliable everyday tool for restaurant kitchens, hotel production areas, and catering operations where sauce and stock quality is a consistent priority.
