Strainers made of horsehair are occasionally available in finer cooking shops
even today. However, I doubt they would stand up to the process needed to
whip egg whites. Other strainers I seen pictured were low sided pans with
holes in the bottom and at least one Roman source that showed a metal
strainer which closely resembles today's rounded strainer with holes. I have
not seen pictures of wire strainers though. :-(
