What does TAMIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A fine cloth sieve stretched over a frame, used in cooking to strain sauces, purees, or soups until perfectly smooth.
A cook presses food through a tamis with the back of a spoon or a plastic scraper, forcing the pulp through the tight weave while seeds, skins, and fibers stay behind. Professional kitchens favor a tamis over an ordinary sieve because the fine mesh removes even tiny lumps, giving sauces and purees a silky texture. The cloth itself is sometimes called tammy, an older English name for the same weave.
