Alright, this may be an odd question but...

Does anyone know the French term for a conical sieve? Is the wooden masher part of it or considered seperate?

The conical sieve is a "chinois" in French. There is a name for the wooden pusher, but it escapes me for the moment. In France and here, I find the back of a ladle to be more useful than the wooden thing :)
It'll come back to me what it is called. I have when that happens :)

Water is a great ingredient to cook with, it has such a neutral flavor - Bobby Flay

But can you get the ladle all the way in/down? I think it is called a "pusher", and in French it would be a "pushay". LOL
