cook at 85 deg., strain and add the...........

you "strain" liquids, not "filter" nor "sieve", and the utensil used for it is called a "colander" (for straining".

You may be right regarding the \"chinois\" but the verb is to strain in any case.

disagree Marguerite Storm : A chinois is a very specific type of colander, cone-shaped (colanders are usually round)

You may be right regarding the "chinois" - which you are - but the verb is to strain in any case
agree Jean-Luc Dumont : Strain sauce through a fine strainer pushing on the solids to extract flavor - I do think chinoiser here is used just for the meaning - to filter a liquid or strain it thru a fine filtering device - passer au chinois - could have been more specific

agree Tony M : 'strain through a fine sieve' would I'm sure convey the intention if not the utensil...

filter

Filter it in a "chinese hat" filter.

But, as an amateur cooker I really cannot imagine in which part of the receipe you have to filter something....

I mean in a \"Bavaroise\" ( not in a Bavarois as surprinsgly stated...).

Carry on and tell me how good it was.

agree Will Matter : sometimes you separate solids/liquids & recombine them later after performing additional cooking procedures or adjusting the taste, for example.

filter through a chinois

In cuisine, the term "chinois" is used in English. Maybe we should call Julia Child, but personally I am sure.

Here is what Le Grand Dictionnaire has to say about it:
chinois n. m.
Équivalent(s) English: chinois



Définition :
Passoire conique munie d'un manche.


Note(s) :
Il en existe différents modèles : le chinois en étamine métallique sert à filtrer les bouillons les sauces et les crèmes fines, les sirops et les gelées qui demandent à être très lisses; le chinois en fer-blanc perforé sert à passer les sauces épaisses en les foulant à l'aide d'un pilon, pour éliminer les grumeaux.

Peer comment(s):

agree Jean-Luc Dumont : yes exactly - Filter through a chinois or fine sieve
27 mins
disagree margaret caulfield : neither of these terms

Filter (can be through a filter (cone-shaped or not) or through a cloth)

Passer au chinois ou chinoiser - c'est simplement filtrer un liquide ou une sauce - pour récupérer le liquide et éliminer les morceaux ou grumeaux éventuels

Ensuite passer au chinois ( filtrer à travers un linge propre)
la décoction pour récupérer tout l' alcool.

pass/push it through a conical strainer

a chinoise/chinois (it seems both are used in English) is a conical strainer. For the sake of clarity, I'd stick with conical strainer.
