Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Metrokane Flip-Top Cocktail Shaker with Built-In Strainer
Customer Review: Favorite shaker for chilling libations!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this shaker for about six months now and only had good experiences. Because the lid is plastic, I do not put that part of it in the dishwasher. To me dishwashers wreak havoc on all plastics, even if they say dw safe. It could be a key to my success with this one.
THE GOOD:
* The lid is plastic and not stainless steel. When a two piece stainless steel shaker gets stuck together from the cold, it is difficult/ almost impossible to get them apart. This shaker doesn't have that problem. The plastic top with the stainless steel bottom is perfect.
* You have to give it an extra hard click to get the straining part shut. (Still one thumb though) It gives me confidence that it is really closed.
* I can shake it really well and I've had no fears of it leaking.
* The threading to put the top on the base is in alignment, so it doesn't give me any trouble putting the lid on.
* It only has two parts, the lid and the base. - No need for extra pieces, a drink strainer etc.
* The base is stainless steel and thick for a nice chilling effect withour freezing your hand off. (Other shaker materials like glass or plastic don't chill as quickly or as well and just melt your ice)
* It Mixes two good sized martinis at once.
THE TRICKY:
* The lid can be a little tricky to clean, especially if you have citrus bits in it. It has a unique strainer design. I drop some soap in it though and put it under high pressure water at all angles to get the inside and the strainer part clean.
* The harder click to snap the strainer lid closed is a plus for me, but if one wasn't expecting to have to do that, it would defintely be tricky as your drink will leak out if not closed all the way.
* The drink doesn't pour out of the strainer as quickly as it does with the old fashioned strainer, but I'm used to it now.
This has now become my new hostess gift.
