If you own a deep fryer, a food skimmer will help you remove debris and food particles from your oil. This way, your oil will stay clean and fresh for longer amounts of time. These skimmers are also helpful for removing donuts from hot oil and vegetables from boiling water. Thanks to the wire mesh construction, liquids fall through and leave solid foods in the basket. Each kitchen skimmer also comes with a long handle that keeps you at a safe distance from hot steam and popping oil.
Use your food skimmer to remove whole herbs and spices from broths and stocks, or pull boiled dumplings and tortellini from the pot as soon as it's done cooking. Skimmers are versatile for all types of kitchen uses, so keep one near your deep fryer and a separate skimmer by your range. We offer skimmers with coarse, fine, or extra fine mesh constructions, so you can remove large or small pieces of food from your pots.
A kitchen skimmer will help you remove food particles from your fryer oil or dumplings and pasta from your stock pots. Choose from various handle lengths to find one that's long enough to reach into your fryer and keep you away from hot steam. We offer skimmers made entirely of metal for superior durability as well as options with non-conductive wooden handles that stay cool to the touch. For other kitchen hand tools, see our
