Etymology

The word 'sift' comes from the Old English 'siftan,' which meant to sift or separate. This term traces its roots further back to Proto-Germanic *siftan, which shares similarities with words in other Germanic languages; for example, the Dutch 'zeven' and German 'sieben.' The evolution of the term is linked to the process of refining and sorting materials, specifically grains, where the action of sifting provides not just separation but also purification and aeration. In the context of cooking, the practice of sifting flour became more commonplace with the advent of baking as a culinary art, significantly noted during the medieval period. Since then, sifting has established itself as an essential technique in both professional and home kitchens, critical for achieving light and airy baked goods.
