Know before you buy
No, this specific model is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with warm, soapy water to preserve the integrity of the stainless steel and the handle material.
The wire coil design is specifically engineered to be gentler on delicate ingredients like ravioli, poached eggs, or blanched vegetables. Unlike rigid slotted spoons that can bruise or break soft foods, the coil provides a cushioned surface while still effectively draining liquid.
The handle is made from durable nylon, which is designed to withstand standard stovetop cooking temperatures. However, it should not be left resting directly on a hot pan or inside a pot while cooking to prevent melting or damage.
Yes, the stainless steel construction and deep basket make it excellent for retrieving fried foods from hot oil. The long handle keeps your hands at a safe distance from splattering oil.
The skimmer measures 37 centimeters in total length, which provides ample reach for deep pots and prevents your hands from getting too close to steam or boiling water.
