Lakeland Flour Sifter

I have wanted one of these (and a sugar dredger) forever. It is lightweight and easy to use and although it looks flimsy is well made.Ideal for flouring pastry (and roast potatoes) without making a huge mess and wasting a lot of flour as you can use a spoonful to a cupful and any leftover put back in the container

Although very lightweight this is well-made, and very easy to use. It's easy enough to clean - just make sure it's thoroughly dry before you use it again. Perfect to use, and cuts down on waste - and the mess! - when the children help with the baking / dusting.Just like the one my nan used to have too!

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!

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

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?
