You like to serve clear chicken soup on Friday
nights, and in your chicken soup pot there's
lots of little vegetables and pieces of chicken
floating. Are you allowed to pour your chicken
soup through a strainer on Shabbat? One of the
Melachot Shabbat is the Melacha of Mirakeid which
means separating using some kind of strainer.
Therefore even if you are taking what you want
and leaving the thing that you don't want, you are
not allowed to use a strainer on Shabbat. You're
never allowed to use any specialized item in order
to separate things that are mixed on Shabbat.
