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.

Polder Strainer/Steamer Basket, Stainless Steel Review

We use this for processing vegetables from the garden for freezing because they allow the boiling water to reach all sides more evenly than most steamers. I bought two and they work wonderfully. I have since found many other uses for them as well.
Well made and a very good value.

Stanco Non-Stick Grease Strainer, Black Review

I recently purchased a Stanco Metal #GS-1200 Grease Strainer Cup/Lid which was heavily damaged during delivery. Upon contacting the company, I was told that there were no more in stock and that I could just mail the item back. I informed them to mail the item back was more expensive than the item itself. Later that day, a representative called to inquiry as to why I was dissatisified with the company. After explaining the situation, I was given a full refund of the product and my shipping and handling cost returned as well. I appreciate business like this and would consider purchasing from this company again.

Helen's Asian Kitchen 7-Inch Spider Skimmer Review

While I have to commend the company on it's speedy shipping the product itself is incredibly cheap.
The wooden handle on the one I received had little cracks and lots of splinters. I actually got a good size splinter in my hand from simply unwrapping it!
Even the wire mesh has some sharp edges (which should have been smoothed down so as to prevent the possibility of cutting yourself).
Judging by the quality I doubt if it will last long and quite honestly I don't think this should sell for more than a couple of dollars...certainly not nearly $10 for something that looks like it will fall apart after a few uses.

Helen\'s Asian Kitchen stainless steel strainer featrues a 7-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.

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!

Joyce Chen Stainless Steel Strainer 5 Inch Review

Joyce Chen Stainless Steel Strainer  5 Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.

Sometimes you just can't win. I've seen the other reviews whining that the included strainer isn't fine enough to catch all debris in leftover frying oil. Well, if Norpro had made the strainer finer, I'm certain we'd see people complaining that the strainer was too fine! This is a well-made funnel; I've had mine for years. Unlike plastic funnels, which never really feel clean after dealing with grease and oil, this one cruises through the dishwasher w/o problems. I have used the strainer for oil, but it is on the coarse side. However, I find this funnel works great with a Melitta #2 coffee filter, which I use for my small coffeemaker. I don't like using cheesecloth as it's a hassle. I'd suggest going to a coffee filter as an alternative. Additionally, I can pour hot oil after frying at a temp that would damage a plastic funnel.
