Can Strainer: A Sweet Substitute For Flour/Sugar Shaker

[keynibear]

A while back, I couldn't find my flour sugar shaker, and I needed it for a recipe. So I thought about it, and the can strainer worked well to "sprinkle" the powdered sugar on the recipe.

So next time you are in a bind, or if you don't yet own the flour/sugar shaker, the can strainer is a great substitute.

Just fill it with the powdered sugar and gently tap it over your dish to create a light dusting. It works especially well for desserts like cakes, cookies, and pastries. Not only is it a convenient substitute, but it also saves you from having to purchase another kitchen tool. Plus, the holes in the can strainer are usually smaller than those in a flour/sugar shaker, so you can control the amount of powdered sugar more easily. So next time you're in need of a flour/sugar shaker, remember this handy tip and use your can strainer instead. Happy baking!
