How do you get rid of lumps in custard?

Method 1: Sieve the custard

1. Pour the custard into a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl.

2. Use a spoon to stir the custard and push it through the sieve.

3. Discard any lumps that remain in the sieve.

Method 2: Blend the custard

1. Pour the custard into a blender.

2. Blend the custard on high speed for 30 seconds, or until the lumps are gone.

Method 3: Whisk the custard

1. Pour the custard into a bowl.

2. Use a whisk to vigorously whisk the custard until the lumps are gone.

Tips

* To prevent lumps from forming in the first place, make sure to whisk the custard constantly while it is cooking.

* If you do find lumps in your custard, don't despair! They can usually be removed with a little bit of effort.

* If you don't have a sieve or blender, you can also try straining the custard through a cheesecloth-lined colander.
