Passing through a sieve - smooth purée technique
Passing through a sieve is a culinary technique where food is pushed through a fine mesh sieve or food mill. The goal is a smooth mass without lumps, seeds, or skins. Cooked fruits, vegetables, legumes, and potatoes can all be passed. Used for purées, soups, sauces, and jams. The result is smoother than blending.
