Pro tip: I dropped $80 on a set of ceramic-coated pouring cups for the aluminum line and they've already paid for themselves by cutting down on slag inclusions.

Has anyone else tried these or have a different trick for keeping the melt clean?

Oh man, I saw a video where a guy just used a steel tea strainer from the kitchen store... seemed to work shockingly well for catching junk. Might be a cheap thing to try first.

Wait, a steel tea strainer? That's wild, wouldn't the heat just wreck it immediately? I feel like it would melt or warp on contact with the hot metal.
