Abstract: A method for producing a strainer dish for receiving medical objects to be disinfected or sterilized. A base surface is produced from a sheet metal blank in a first machining step. In a second machining step, the sheet metal blank or base surface is provided with holes to obtain a perforated starting shape. In a third machining step which takes place after the first and second machining steps, a perforated plane is produced, which can be divided into a flat inner section and an edge section. In a fourth machining step which takes place after the third machining step, a strainer dish shape is produced. The raw bottom corresponds to the flat inner section of the perforated plane. A fifth machining step, which takes place after the third machining step, at least partially produces a three-dimensionally structured bottom from the flat inner section.
