What is a flour dredger?

A flour dredger is a kitchen utensil used to evenly distribute flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or other dry ingredients over food. It is a cylindrical container with a perforated lid or bottom, and a handle. The flour dredger is filled with the desired ingredient and then shaken over the food.

Flour dredgers are commonly used when making fried chicken or fish, as well as when baking cakes and cookies. They can also be used to add a dusting of powdered sugar or cocoa powder to desserts.

Flour dredgers are typically made of metal or plastic, and come in a variety of sizes. Some flour dredgers have a built-in measuring cup, which can be helpful when adding precise amounts of flour to a recipe.
