Sheela, large ivory handle

Description

stainless steel spider strainer, also widely referred to as a wire skimmer or a slotted ladle. It is a versatile kitchen utensil, especially common in East Asian cuisine, used for a variety of cooking and frying tasks.
Key Features and Uses
Material: It is made of durable, food-grade stainless steel with a sturdy wire-mesh basket and a long handle designed to keep your hands safe from heat, oil splashes, or boiling water.
Design: The “spider web” or spiral wire design efficiently scoops food securely while quickly draining away hot oil, broth, or water.
Functionality: It is faster than a fine mesh strainer and more gentle than tongs for handling delicate items. Common uses include:
Deep Frying: Safely removing items like french fries, chicken, or doughnuts from hot oil.
Blanching & Boiling: Lifting vegetables, dumplings, pasta, or seafood from boiling water or soup stock.
Skimming: Skimming foam or residue from the surface when making broths or stocks.
