Is the edge sealed well? I always have the problem of my quinoa or other small grain getting stuck in the edges...

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

The edges are sealed pretty well. I grind alot of seasonings with my mortal and pestle and then use these to sift out the fine powders. I haven't had anything stick around the edges and just LOVE these ;)

I have had similar issues with other strainers. But I use these specifically for Quinoa. Though a few grains get a little stuck occasionally, these strainers have been great for everything!

It sounds like you have a possibly defective product. The edges should be finished smoothly so you don't get cut or scraped! Hope this helps. Gina

It does work with quinoa - none of the quinoa goes through. However, some of the quinoa tends to get stuck in-between the layers of mesh. To get the stuck quinoa out, I let it dry and then lightly tapped the strainer until the grains popped out.

The mesh is tiny and the material is very sturdy. Will it hold rice or quinoa? Absolutely! I love mine and think you will love it too.

I had no issues with this. Just make sure that on your first use you flour it well and really work the flour into the grooves as much as you can. The moisture from the bread and the flour seems to keep the little strands from tearing further or coming off. I didn't have many on mine though.

I just checked my pan and I do not feel that the edges pose any kind of a threat. My 10-year-old son has baked with it and fortunately there have been no issues with the edges of the pan. After making first batch of cookies we both commented that they were crispier than normal. I purchased two of the pans and I like them!

Sorry no. It is great grain, only expecting to have outer peel on: whole grain. This is not a case.

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

I like to eat the multi grain bread too, which is smaller than regular bread too. But I still have to cut the sandwich in 1/2 to fit it into the 2nd from the bottom bowl. even then its a tight squeeze...wraps work best.

I had the same problem. It won't hurt anything and will gradually go away. Its a great bread box.

So far... I have not had this problem with my (4) keepers. When I just looked at one of mine, I noticed that there is a groove in the seal that must fit OVER an inner "ridge" in the top of the lid. It kind of 'snaps' onto that ridge when it is on right. You may not be getting the groove on the ridge properly. If that does not correct the problem, then you may want to return it for a new one. I have used one of mine for almost 2 years and have had no problems.

I believe u have to use some kind of sugar substitute or cook the quinoa to where it's really sticky? I make traditional style sushi and this works great for that.

My cookie jar has a good seal. Maybe not air tight but cookies are never in my jar that long at my house. I love it!

I've never had that problem! I keep mine in an airtight ziplock in the fridge. It is resealable... But sometimes a little tricky to close completely.

There are not very deep ridges on the sides and the bottom...I have tried using the top but prefer the results without it. It is great for storing the bread.

I've not had to fuss with mine much at all. A couple tips? 1) the top goes 'on' in almost the lock position-the reach of my thumb is enough to ease it into the locked position. 2) this has a rubber-gasketed seal on the top, so if it gets too clean it will be hard to move into lock. A quick dab of flour or water or veg. oil and it moves very smoothly. 2 things I do like are that the blades click into place on the bowl so you don't have to contend with them falling out when you empty the bowl, and I think because of that and the gasket seal, you can process more liquids without making a mess..

I use any side and have never had a problem with fuss getting on the bread. Maybe you got a cloth that has flaws. Sorry to hear. I love mine, never a problem.
