Rosle Fine Skimmer Review

Rosle Fine Skimmer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I originally purchased this for use in connection with my deep fryer, but have found it to be useful for lifting ground beef or pork out of the pan before draining off the fat. Its wide, relatively flat head make this task easier than using an ordinary slotted spoon. It is, of course, also good for skimming off scum from chicken or beef broth when making stock since it is perforated and not a wire or "spider" skimmer. It is a utensil that I find myself using more frequently than I originally anticipated.
The only drawback is price, as is the case with many Rosle products. I have a few and they are certainly well-made, but an expensive stainless steel, perforated skimmer won't do the job better than a more moderately priced one. I think that it is worth paying a higher price for superior construction in something like a garlic press (I have a Rosle and a Kuhn Rikon) where high quality is more critical to the operation of the item, but I can't say the same for a skimmer. I certainly like this, but you may be better off spending the money on an Oxo at a third of the price and allocating the money you save on something more worthwhile like a new piece of Le Creuset or picking this up as the fourth, free item as part of one of Amazon's "Four for Three" promotions.

Feel just like Giada and dip out that pasta... It is a great product with a super long handle for large pots. I love it. I gave one as a gift, too.

A unique, handsome, and practical Chinese skimmer with brass wire mesh and a long bamboo handle. There is no substitute for this tool that lifts out pasta, wontons, ravioli, and tortellini from boiling water or fried foods from hot oil. The most handy, versatile, useful, durable, and inexpensive utensil in any kitchen Ð some even use it in the kitty litter box!

Joyce Chen Stainless Steel Strainer, 7 Inch Review

Being an Italian food lover, I make pasta a lot. Using the Stainless Steel Strainer (also known as a "spider") eliminates the need for a colander if you are putting your pasta in a sauce. As soon as the pasta is done just scoop it out, let it drain and put it into your sauce pan. It works like a charm!

Typhoon Professional Cook's Wire Skimmer Review

This is a great kitchen tool. It works well on fishing things out of hot oil or hot water. The only problem I have with it is I was in a hurry and put it in the dishwasher to clean and now it's a little rusty in a couple spots on the mesh. I scrubbed those by hand and rubbed a little cooking oil in. Take the time to wash by hand.

Joyce Chen Stainless Steel Strainer 5 Inch Review

Bought both the size 5 and 7. I use BOTH frequently, but size 7 is the one I use almost daily. I scoop vegetables, ravioli and pot stickers out of
boiling water safely with the size 7 (to avoid the breakage caused when you dump in a colander)!! The 7 fits in most pots despite the size. I like the size 5 for the frying pans and deep fryer to keep the breading intact or scooping seafood quickly. The wooden handles are long so you can avoid the hot steam and oil! No more carrying dangerously heavy hot pots to the sink. The strainers are sturdy with handles that are very secure. I don't store them in drawers. I like them handy in the counter tool caddy near the range...they clear the cabinets easily.

Helen's Asian Kitchen 5-Inch Spider Skimmer Review

This has been the best scoop for deep frying that I have ever owned. You wouldnt know it until you actually use it but it allows you to remove both large and small objects from the boiling oil before they burn and with minimul effort. It has held up well through use also.

Helen\'s Asian Kitchen stainless steel strainer featrues a 5-inch diameter stainless steel bowl that won't rust and is dishwasher safe. The bamboo handle is non-conductive so it does not transfer heat. Discover what cooks in the orient have known for centuries. The web-like design of the bowl quickly whicks away oils, water and broth. This means, when frying, the strainer quickly disipates the oil away from the food leaving a crisp, crunchy coating. When pulling food out of boiling water or broth, the open, web shape leaves the liquid behind.
