Launched on Kickstarter in 2020, SIFTR is a food-and-dishwasher-safe silicone micro colander designed for straining and draining canned food.
The original idea came from not wanting to use a full size colander just to strain some kidney beans, and the rest is history!
Since the first prototype, it was clear SIFTR could do so much more. One of the best uses is for juicing citrus fruits - simply cut a lemon or lime in half, place it inside SIFTR and crush in your hand. The juice will flow and all the pips will stay inside!
Our Kickstarter had over 4,000 backers and we’ve sold more than 35,000 sets to date. They’re ideal to keep in your kitchen drawer or camper van. We’re selling them on Amazon in the US and UK - search for SIFTR COLANDER to find us!
Compact and colourful, SIFTR is made from silicone. This was chosen because its a flexible, food-grade, high temperature material. Each of the water-droplet shaped holes has been sized to allow the maximum flow of water both into and out of a can, without letting any of the food escape from inside.
