    I've really enjoyed this series. There is something in this episode that confuses me. The "Victorian Flour Sieve". It's just a regular sifter. It's the style I grew up with and have multiples of in my cabinets. Why would it be seen as something special, when they've been in production for so long? Are they no longer used in the UK?

    Wow. Creepy, but wow. We had a sieve like that when I was in high school. I have no idea why, because my mom didn't bake-- the oven only got used to roast meat!-- but we had the sieve and the only difference was ours had a round red knob. It's like pastry cutters: no one has or uses them any more, as good as they were at their jobs. Um, that would have been the late 1980's. We had a pastry cutter, too, but I don't know if it was ever used for anything. I was the person most likely to cook or bake, and I never found a use for the pastry cutter. I didn't bother with pies or cakes, I never cared too much for sweets. Mostly it just got in the way when putting away cooking utensils after washing dishes.
