Brilio.net - Flour is a versatile ingredient used in various types of dishes and cakes. In soup dishes, flour serves to thicken the sauce or gravy. Meanwhile, in making cakes, flour plays an important role in creating the desired dough texture.
There are various types of flour commonly used in cooking and baking, such as wheat flour, rice flour, cornstarch, tapioca flour, and sago flour. Each type of flour has unique characteristics. For example, tapioca flour produces a chewier texture compared to wheat flour.
Despite the differences, the use of flour in making dough generally involves the same process, namely sifting. This step is important to avoid the formation of flour lumps in the dough. Undissolved flour lumps can reduce the quality and enjoyment of the final dish.
However, the process of sifting flour is often considered annoying by many people. This is because the flour tends to fall and scatter around the container during the sifting process. Scattered flour is difficult to clean and can add to the cleaning work after cooking or baking is finished. This situation can add to the burden of household chores that must be done after cooking activities.
For those who are often annoyed by scattered flour after sifting, you must try a trick shared by a netizen named Mahnaz. According to her, if you use this trick, the flour sifting can be much neater.

Hold the glass and strainer so that they don't come loose. Then turn them over and position them over a bowl to catch the flour. Next, sift the flour by slowly sliding the glass. When you slide it, the flour will fall into the bowl by itself. Instead of squeezing the sieve as usual, use a glass like this, the results will be much neater.
