Named for its weblike design, this spider skimmer from Helen's Asian Kitchen line is a handy, versatile tool for any food that needs quick draining. Crafted from rustproof stainless steel, the skimmer is sturdy and lightweight with a rounded shape that keeps hold of dumplings, wontons, and raviolis. Its netted design drains oils and water quickly and efficiently for better cooking results, and its bamboo handle is comfortable and heat-resistant. Measuring 5 inches in diameter, the skimmer is safe in the dishwasher for easy cleanup. A 7-inch version is also available. --Emily Bedard
Product Description
Helen’s Asian Kitchen stainless steel strainer featrues a 5-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.

This has been the best scoop for deep frying that I have ever owned. You wouldnt know it until you actually use it but it allows you to remove both large and small objects from the boiling oil before they burn and with minimul effort. It has held up well through use also.

While looking at this product, I came across other models that were larger. Based on some of the other reviews I decided to go with this model, and I was glad that I did.
It really is the perfect size for its intended purpose - to remove items that have been frying in oil, OR to remove pasta from boiling water. It does a great job for both.
The construction seems sturdy and well built, and I like the wooden handle because it stays cool to the touch.

Spider skimmers are larger than you think, but this one is the perfect size, fits into our smallest saucepan. A necessity for anyone who does a lot of boiling . . .

Great Spider, this is an excellent value. The handle is nice and wide so it does not try and turn over on you when you are extracting the food.

Great item to have around. Much better than a slotted spoon. I debated about getting the bigger sized basket but I think the bigger size would have been too big for some pots.

The spider strainer is wonderful for stir frying and deep frying. Provides excellent control for cooking and scooping items.
This tool is very well constructed. Bamboo is perfect material for the handle - it's durable, doesn't heat up, and is easy to clean.

Works great. Still going strong. A little pain to clean by hand cause the sponge will start to break on it. I don't recommend that you soak it (or anything wooden) as it will make it crack easier. But I recommend it and I'm glad I purchased it.

Great price.
The spider works great and cleans up easily. Super price for the utility. Use it for frequent frying and anything working with hot liquids.

Nothing much to say.....kitchen tool, used often
Seems to be nice product. Personal opinion: the size is nice for the cookware I have. In future, might look at a larger sized strainer with longer handle.

Good kitchen addition.
You don't have to be cooking Asian food to love this strainer. It's a good size to fit into almost any pan, and most liquids drain right off.

I finally got mine!
Having grown up in a family of Southern style cooks, I am surprised that I never saw one of these spider strainers. We certainly fried enough to make it a useful kitchen tool. Read more

Got a spatzle-maker? You need one of these!
Gift for daughter and daughter-in-law. Bought them both a spatzle-maker and they need this strainer to scoop them out of the boiling water.

First one came with spots that looked like mold.
Second one came with slightly less spots which looked like mold. I gave up on returning it as it costs less than the S&H.
