Does anyone have any experience straining chicken stock? Does it let any particles through?

I haven't used it on chicken stock, but I have with washing Sushi Rice and making jellies and it doesn't let particles through. If you were really concerned about that I would suggest using a cheesecloth liner as well.

It is great for straining chicken stock. I do it all the time. In fact, I'm going to look for a larger size, because I use it for everything I would use cheesecloth for.

I haven't and would not use it for soup. In my opinion, it's not deep enough to cover vegetables and or meat with broth. I always use my stock pot for soups.

I believe it is true. I use this product and it does not cause me to have stomach issues. If it had garlic or onion then I would have problems. I was very happy to find these which allows me to have chicken stock for several recipes.

Yes, as long as there aren't a lot of large chunks and you can control the flow of the broth. I wouldn't pour from a stockpot through this because I would spill but I might use a ladle to do it. I'm not sure, since I haven't used it for broth, but it might let some of the smaller particles through the mesh.

You still have to strain it. It comes with a filter to strain it through, and it's not that big so be prepared to wait lol.

Yes, although my experience straining oil with it is that you will want to clean it with very hot soapy water as quickly as possible, otherwise it will solidify in the fine mesh making 1000% harder to clean. We have even used it to strain raw unfiltered honey and have not had any problems if we clean it promptly.

to fine for straining, good for picking up the scum from boiling soup stock

What I would suggest is try crush the flake a little smaller so that it does not get caught up in the chamber. I feed my fish pellets so I do not encounter that problem.

if you only use oil and don't have much or any additional liquid to generate steam, I'd speculate this is unlikely to work. Plus the presence of large amounts of steam is unlikely to contribute in a good way to crunchy fried chicken.

The chicken breasts we cooked this summer came out great. Marinated overnight, lots of garlic and ginger. I suspect that it would also work as a smoker, using low heat, and using thoroughly soaked wood chips. Haven't tried that, but it would be interesting.

I am not sure we had the same problem when we did chicken but not when we did a 20lb turkey. I would maybe suggest dropping the chicken in instead of placing it in the basket first. This is what we are going to try next time.

These are great for straining stocks... the larger strainer will hold a lot of the bulk.

Though I have not actually tried it, I think that straining oil would work fine. I have used mine to fish debris out of very fatty beef stock and did not have any of the fat resist passing through the mesh.

I would probably mix it first with the vinegar, to make a loose paste, and then whisk in the oil. Just adding it to an oil and vinegar mixture might lead to it "clumping". I'd also let it sit, after mixing, to allow the flavors to meld. I've used lots of different "white stuff" - yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk, mayo, and mixtures of any and all of them. I prefer using less of the Ranch powder than usually called for, and adding some of my own herbs/spices "to taste", along with black or white pepper. Have also used to "rub" chicken. Experiment. Enjoy. I would probably mix it first with the vinegar, to make a loose paste, and then whisk in the oil. Just adding it to an oil and vinegar mixture might lead to it "clumping".

I'm not sure if the B2B food strainer is like mine, and I don't have a salsa screen. What are you putting through that has seeds coming through? I use the regular screen for apples and Autumn Olives and it comes through very satisfactory. I have a berry screen, but it didn't do as well for Autumn Olives, and I've not used it for anything else. It's supposed to be good for tomatoes, but I like my old fashioned cone shaped sieve and wooden plunger for tomatoes. Sorry that I can't tell you more.

I haven't tried that. I smoked 2 whole chickens and left the probe in the slightly larger chicken.

Not that I'm aware of. You might try a fine mesh strainer that would sit on the rim and extend down into this. That would give you the straining capability as well as make sure everything went into the canning jar or whatever you want filled with liquid. It would also allow you to dump the particulate matter as it builds up in the strainer.
