Caper pun

My partner cooked a chicken dish with a sauce mixed with capers.  However, the capers (which look like small, green berries) did not taste the way they had expected.  They handed me a sieve and asked me to try to fish the capers out of the sauce into a separate bowl while they went to tidy the other room.

However, the sieve didn't work very well.  The sauce was too lumpy, and many of the capers were mixed in with the chicken.  After a few minutes, and only a dozen or so of the capers, I gave up.

When my partner re-entered the room, they asked me,

"Did it work?  Where is the sieve?"

I replied,

"It's in-caper-bowl."

(Rating: 3/5 -- works both ways with heavy contrivance.)
