Bar Fine-Mesh Cocktail Strainer in 304 Stainless Steel (AISI 304 (1.4301)) is used for double-straining shaken cocktails so ice shards, mint fragments and citrus pulp stay out of the glass. The alloy gives good general corrosion resistance in atmosphere and fresh water and is essentially non-magnetic (annealed), with a practical service limit of approx. +450 °C continuous.
