Product Description

Amazon.com Review

If you've drooled over Calphalon cookware (like we have), you may want to check out their cook's tools, too. The clever design on this 15-inch nylon skimmer features herringbone slots in its 4-1/2-inch head for skimming the foam off the surface of broths or retrieving a dumpling from a simmering soup. The slots measure 1/8 inch wide and fan out from the skimmer's center, so no liquid remains in the scoop. The handle, heat-resistant up to 400 degrees F, has a comfortable width, a finger notch, and a hole in the end for hanging storage. --Emily Bedard

Product Description

Lift food from boiling water, frying oil and broths using this skimmer, which is kind to non-stick surfaces.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the Best Designed Skimmer, December 29, 2000

The Calphalon Nylon Skimmer looks nice in my tall crock filled with the other black nylon Calphalon utensils. However, it is not useful. The holes in this skimmer are too large for collecting froth from the surface of simmering soups, stocks, and stews. Since one never really touches the pan with a skimmer, to me, it does not matter if the skimmer is plastic. I recommend the Calphalon Stainless Steel Mesh Skimmer instead.

It melted in the first time I used it, and I just used it to get my dumplings.

I won't dribel on about the quality of the Calphalon utensils as everyone already knows that. I will drivel on however about how much I use this skimmer. In the fall during canning season this is by far the best for skimming up blanced beans or hot tomatoes or peaches. The cup area on the skimmer is large and will haul more than you think.
