Thank you for taking interest in our set of strainers. I am sorry to hear you had a miss purchase before, but have no fear All Times Finest is here! :P.. Haha but back on topic, these are very sturdy and during. When comparing our quality to the ones of Cuisinart for example, the quality of both are actually quite the same. All our sets should come in perfect condition, and shouldn't be bent or have squished mesh. However, during transport somethings can always get messed up, so if this happens, just contact me straight away and I will sort it out for you in a flash! They will work for almost any seeds or grains as long as they are not grinded/crushed. Quinoa, rice, and other grains which remain in the form how they occur in nature will work. But maybe this isn't the answer to your question. What do you mean exactly with will the strainers work for those grains? Will you be able to clean them in a proper way, than the answer is yes without a doubt. If, you mean something else, please let me know.

Yes, the mesh is fine enough to retain raspberry seeds--the challenge will be compressing the puree against the mesh! Maybe a large flat spoon to press the raspberry mixture against the mesh?

Yes. The size of the mesh gets smaller in each strainer. I poured quinoa in the biggest first and nothing came through the sieve except chaff and dust, so you should be good with any of these.

Haven't used it for quinoa yet. Haven't noticed other food getting stuck in the edge though.

Yes, it is mesh so you can rinse everything off in the bag and hang it up . We take our stuff with us every vaca.

The mesh is like a window screen. Since I am not familiar with quinoa you must be the judge.

As others have said, the mesh is fine enough that quinoa would not escape through any holes. If you meant "is it easy to hold while washing?" that would definitely depend on your preference but I would say that it's doable, you would just have to figure out what the best way to hold it is and if you have smaller hands it might be a bit difficult when wet but as I said still manageable. However if you're going to want to wash more than a cup or so of anything at a time you'll want to look for something with a bigger capacity. The capacity is fine for sifting though as you can spoon in and it sifts out as you go so doing more than a cup still goes quickly.

I am sorry, but I am personally not familiar with QUINOA. I can't speculate about the size of the actual grains and how the mesh would treat them.

Definitely not; I use it for both rice and quinoa without any difficulty. However, one of the handles came off of mine soon after I got it. I didn't return it because I still needed it and didn't want to wait for an exchange. Otherwise, it has proven durable enough but not of highest quality manufacture.

Yes the mesh is fine enough to rinse rice. Just to make sure, I just put a handful of rice into the strainer and the mesh is definitely fine enough NOT to let the rice fall through it.

I would say that you probably could. The mesh is very fine and I bought it so I can rinse lentils and split peas. It also strains pasta perfectly. This is a very good strainer.

I just tried it with dry quinoa, and the holes were too big. The quinoa fell through.

I don't think it is needed. The mesh is very fine. I have not had any issues with grinds coming through. We love these filters.

The few times I have rinsed I just put the quinoa in a fine strainer and rain water over it. Most of the time I don't even do that. I have not noticed a difference either way.

Hi! My name is Liberty from Hawaii. Wide Rim mesh Basket has little holes but quinoa seeds will still go through the holes when you wash them. I suggest you buy the Japanese Rice washing bowl. It's the best for washing rice including quinoa. I ordered it from Amazon and I really like it!

No, the holes are too big. Also, your best bet for rinsing quinola is cheesecloth.
