I have a small strainer, with very fine mesh. It's deep, would hold
about 1/4 cup of something dense. I'm not sure what it was intended to
be used for. It's very handy for skimming skum off of boiling chicken
or a boiled roast, etc. Or from bones and vegetables wnen making stock.
As you say, more "real estate".

There are no name brand or markings on it. I don't remember where I got
it but I've had it for a lot of years. I was one of those silly kids
who started buying small household items when I was in my teens. I knew
I'd be out on my own one day. And I liked to cook. So I'd buy kitchen
stuff. No doubt I picked this strainer up around the the same time I
bought my first collapsible veggie steamer.

Hmmmm, we haven't had any "I'm moving out, what should I buy for the
kitchen?" posts lately. Think those trolls all grew up?
