Ok, Now I dont have a dish washer. But any good ways to clean a flour sifter? We usually just let it soak a long time but there is always flour clogs. We have tried toothpicks too.
Anyone else have this problemo?
i just wash with soap and water and rinse - never had a problem

I never have a problem cleaning mine .. it comes clean really easily ... I have just a plain one that has a handle on it that you turn .. I'd think it would hold about 2 or 3 cups in it at a time ... but it's not hard to clean at all
i have always used (when I had one) my Kirby vacuum on blow or a can of compressed air to clean it..... worked like a charm and I never had to worry about rust!
The best way that i have found to clean a sifter is: use your blowdryer while the flour, sugar, whatever is still dry. Then wash it as you normally would and put it in the oven at about 250 degrees for about 5 minutes to dry. Putting it in the oven each time will prevent rust from forming (my old home economics teacher taught me that.)
I am definitly going to try the hair dryer. Hopefully that will work and make it a lot easier to keep the sifter clean.
Thank you all for your tips.
You know Misdawn, I remember my home economics teacher telling me something about putting the sifter in the oven but I couldn't remember why.. lol .. I'm glad you refreshed my mind about that one .. I'll have to remember that 
Misdawn....that is the same reasoning behind putting a cast iron pan on the burner after you wash it....works like a charm!!!
and yes hairdryer works too..... I just never wet mine.... I blew off whatever is in the sifter kind of like what you do with computers with the can of air and thats why I used them too!
