Lakeland Flour Sifter

Lovely gadget, but some bits got stuck inside the mechanism and no matter how much I wash it, I cannot get rid of them. They started to smell badly after a week. Any suggestions as to how to take the sifter apart to wash it inside? I am pretty gutted as I wanted to make a few more cakes soon!

i bought this to reduce the mess i make when sifting flour, unfortunately it doesnt hold much flour so takes a while to sift it and after using it for about 6 months it fell apart

I was delighted to find the flour sifter but it is now at the back of the cupboard because it leaks flour from the base all the time. Everytime it is picked up, half of the flour is left on the worksurface. Remedy? Have to place it in a plate all the time can't one be supplied to fit the bottom?

The idea is good but using it not so good, i have gone through 3 of these in as many weeks. They keep rusting up making them impossible for me to use. who wants something that has rusted up.

This is a great little gadget. It is much less messy to use than a sieve. However, I find it really only copes with about 2 ozs of flour at a time. This is great for small quantities but not for large batch cooking. I actually have one I got from Lakeland some years ago that is about twice the size, but still not big enough for large quantities. I remember my mother had a really large one and wonder if Lakeland might source a 'big brother' to this for those times when a lot of sifting is required. This one is really too small
