Abstract

The sifter of the present disclosure uses a pull cord in communication to assist with the sifting of a powdered substance (e.g., flour, sugar). A user places the substance to be sifted into the open end of a top container and actuates the pull cord, which in turn rotates a blade to agitate the powder and help it pass through a screen into a lower container. This design allows a user to keep their hands from touching the powdered product, and for simple cleanup.
