Hi Bryanna,
[Please say the subject line ten times quickly.... yikes!]
I've no doubt you'll think of this too, but maybe I can save you some time/effort by telling you first - I just thought of it recently.
I've been using the chinois, as you know, to strain soy, and other, milks. I've been washing the chinois under cool running water, with a brush slightly larger than a toothbrush. (The chinois is large and I rarely have room in the dishwasher for it.)
But now that the weather is (fairly) warm, I can just step out the kitchen door to the deck, and blast the chinois (from the outside inwards, of course) with the hose - with the spray set on 'jet' on the pistol grip.
That's all the washing it needs and takes just a moment. So this is great.
If your outside water tap isn't reasonably near the kitchen, this might not be worth it for you.
But for me, my kitchen opens into a small laundry/utility room and two steps away from the kitchen is the back door to outside (to a deck). One more step and I'm at the outdoor water faucet.
Cheers,
Pat Meadows
