Cathy Reviews Battery Operated Flour Sifter

Image
  Battery Operated Electric Flour Sifter I wanted a sifter to make it a little easier when I had to sift a lot of confectioners sugar for cookie making. I bought this particular sifter from Amazon using an Amazon gift card given by my daughter and thought it would be perfect for my baking adventures. All you need to start it up is 2 AA batteries. It holds 4 cups of flour and vibrates to sift. The cleanup is super easy, just rinse but don't immerse the whole thing in water. I made a video so you can see how it works.  ***************************************************************************  Would you like to help us do reviews?
