Cooking But No Sifter? Two Easy Ways to Sift Flour

Grab a strainer if you have one. Pour your flour into it over a bowl and gently tap the side. This lets the flour fall through in a light, even layer. Go slow, or you’ll end up with flour everywhere. If you see lumps, you’re tapping too hard—just put it back and try again. No strainer? Use a wire whisk or even a big fork. Put your flour in a bowl and stir it in quick, circular motions. It takes a little patience, but you’ll see the flour get lighter and lump-free. This works great for recipes that need a delicate texture, like cakes or cookies. Skipping sifting is fine for some things, but if you want a smooth batter, it’s worth the extra minute! #bakingtips #kitchenhacks #flour #Food #Cooking
