A sieve is used when you are cooking something and you need to get rid of the lumps, such as when you are making a cake, you often sieve the flour before adding it to the mixture so that it is not lumpy. A sieve can also be used when you are cooking something like vegetables and want to get rid of the water you have boiled them in. You would hold the sieve over the sink and then pour the vegetables and water into the sieve and you would be left with just the vegetables because the water would go through the little holes in the sieve and down the sink.
