Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hello jm_dottavio, Stainless steel is OK for strainers, I've had mine for at least 3 yrs. Just make sure they are really stainless and not some cheap imitation. If you feel the need to strain your KT then by all means do so. I do pick the little scobys out when they form but thats not often. Some of these good folks actually swallow those little scobys but thats just not my cup of tea LOL. Yes do what ever you need to do in order to be able to enjoy your KT. I like it just the way it is so wasn't thinking when I replied. huggs zoe Saturday, November 22, 2008, 7:17:10 PM, you wrote: > Thanks for replying, Zoe. > Well, first, I thought you weren't supposed to use a stainless steel > strainer or metallic strainer of any kind for either Kefir or > Kombucha.
