lakeland Jelly & Jam Strainer Stand & Muslin Bag

Excellent product. Easy to assemble and does the job

I used this last week to make a batch of apple jelly. The frame seems like it wouldn’t support a lot of weight but one the bag is attached and the fruit pulp poured in, it didn’t have a problem supporting 2kg of cooked apples. I’ve used it a few times since I bought it so I can recommend it.

I was about to cook my elderberries when I realised that, since I have had my new handleless kitchen built, I no longer have any wall unit door handles from which to hang my strainer bags!This stand and bag were perfect for my needs and arrived the next day on Prime.It fits under my wall units fine, unlike some reviewers. The very front of my wall units with pelmet are 443mm from the worktop, the standard height for them to align with the top of tall units. The stand is 438mm high. But you can easily have the stand just partially underneath a cupboard, as it is triangle shaped, and still have plenty of room on standard worktop if you have a height problem.The strained bag holds enough for my needs and I found my 2pt measuring jug easily fitted underneath it when hanging though some people may prefer a bigger bag.The bag has an elastic top which fits the stand snuggly and stays in place when tucked under the 3 flaps for that purpose. I am sure you could easily adapt an existing strainer bag to fit it, or perhaps a bigger one, with either elastic or some string.If each leg were raised by resting each on an object, e.g. an upturned storage jar/tub, a bigger bag could be attached.The stand is a little flimsy when putting together but once together, even if it isn't fully snapped in, it holds itself together, especially once the strainer bag is fitted.The 3 legs can be stored laying one on top of each other and takes up hardly any room.However, I wasn't happy with each leg coming in it's own plastic bag - totally unnecessary.Overall, I am very happy with it and have bought a second one.

It does what it claims to.

Does what it says it does. Great for leaving fruit in overnight. Easy to put together and easy to clean. Would recommend it.

Ideal for making jam jelly

Easy to assemble and pack away to store. Just the right size, stands on kitchen work top.

This does the job but be careful as the stand is flimsy and IMO won’t last long. The stand is easy to assemble and the straining cloth fits well but it isn’t very big and won’t take a decent sized bowl underneath. The cloth is of good quality but the stand is thin plastic and not up to the Lakeland quality I had expected. Over all, disappointing.
