I'm making more and more stocks these days and am in the market for a
Chinoise. The inexpensive ones appear to be made of inferior stainless
steel and i suspect they'll corrode in their nooks and crannies which
are hard to clean and dry. I'd rather not fork out $70 for a Rosle one
though. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I've seen kinds with large holes, medium holes, and several with fine
mesh. I'm guessing the mesh ones are a pain to clean, so i thought i'd
just get a medium holed one and strain through a cheesecloth when i
need smaller holes. Sound like a good plan?
