A Strainer is a metal kitchen strainer. It sits in the cooking category but is most useful as scrap iron. It weighs 1.0.

A Strainer can be melted down in a furnace for iron or steel. The Smelt Iron From Small Item recipe turns it into an Iron Chunk at a primitive or better furnace. An Advanced Furnace can turn it into a Steel Chunk instead. It can also be melted into a ceramic crucible at a simple or better furnace.

The strainer holds metal, so it can start a fire if it goes into a microwave. The Chef is the best occupation for cooking. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
