OXO Steel Cocktail Strainer

The best Hawthorne I’ve found in the 10 years I’ve been bartending. Worth the money, fits into everything, light, easy to clean. These have a strong spring compared to cheap generic hawthorns. These also stop the big ice but lets the drink easily run through it. I’d use a second strainer to catch chips but don’t waste your money on the ones that have the strainer built in

This is a great strainer, which isn't too surprising since I've never had a poor product from oxo.I've gotten into cocktail-making during the pandemic and have had fun with it, using make-do kitchen items. After my sister bought me a stirring glass and a Boston shaker for my birthday, I figured I could use an appropriate strainer. This one was perfect for me. It fits both the shaker tin and the glass, so no need for a second julep strainer. It's easy to hold in place, holds back the ice, and catches much of the other stuff, like stray bits of lemon pulp. (To really get out every last tiny ice chip or bit of lemon, you still need a fine mesh strainer, as is to be expected.) I like the comfortable black oxo grippy thing, which is in the perfect spot. I like that it had a short handle that doesn't get in the way. The strainer is lightweight but doesn't feel at all cheap or too thin.Great quality, good price, this hawthorn strainer is a useful addition for your home bar tools.

Such a great product I use every shift in a very high volume bar

Really nice build and easy to use. The grip works well and I haven’t seen any rust or any issues like that from it

It's a little tricky, but it's nice.I'm a big fan of the martini. LOL. If you are as well, this is a nice addition because it stores better. It has a smaller footprint than the "usual". I do find myself having to "think about it" when I'm using it BUT so far it's worked perfectly.The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is because there is another version of this that has 2 spring options. I'm not sure if that is actually necessary or better but it would have been nice to have that second sitting I included so I could have explored it.All in all, I still make the best martinis I've ever had. Haha

Ah 2020. What else was I going to do but shop online and try out every drink that caught my fancy in the Cocktail Codex? To do so, I needed a strainer that could fit into my shaker and mixing glass and be easy to use in both. Oxo's checks those boxes, and looks good doing it.The tinier flange on the back drew me in, and the raised finger holster seemed too good to pass up. It has met my expectations as I applied it to different drinks with vigor. Frothy citrus-based drinks from the shaker don't lose any energy passing through, and stiffer built cocktails can be done with all the ice I have thanks to the strainer. I love it.Trying to take a picture for the review while pouring to get an action shot wasn't even that bad thanks to the one-handed nature of its design. Unfortunately I didn't think to do so until I was past my first drink; thankfully not a drop was spilled in the course of taking said picture. Look, this is a strainer. It's not as exciting as the things you get to make with it, but I feel like making those things has a little more panache now. Get it, you won't be disappointed.

Pros: The body is made of a hefty gage steel, so it is not easily bent under normal use. The spring/coil is also made of durable steel and has retained it's shape nicely thus far, although I have only used it a half dozen times or so. The rubber grip on the top is nicely placed and feels comfortable to use for someone with average sized hands like myself. I have also found it is relatively easy to clean, as the spring slides off the body and can be washed separately.Cons: I have seen springs on Hawthorne strainers that have a tighter pitch on the coils, which helps keep the smaller ice chips out of a drink. However, if you are really looking to get the small chips out of a drink a fine strainer is the way to go and not a Hawthorne strainer like this. It is also somewhat pricey for just a strainer, but ultimately if you are looking for something that will last this one is the way to go.Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase and would recommend it. It is worth the price.

Compact and sturdy, it gets the job done. I like it so much I bought a second one.

アイスコーヒーを作る際使用しています。まずセリアで買った500mlのビーカーにコーヒーを抽出します。ビーカーへ氷をたくさん投入してコーヒーを急冷してすぐに当該商品を被せ、あらかじめ氷をいれておいたグラスへコーヒーを注ぎます。はい、急冷式アイスコーヒーの出来上がり！

Works extremely well, very happy with purchase.
