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 7 inches in diameter, the skimmer is safe in the dishwasher for easy cleanup. A 5-inch version is also available. --Emily Bedard
Product Description
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.

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.

Moving around a lot of Lumpia. This wide handled large spider easily removes the Lumpia from the wok. Great value.

Poor quality
Wow this thing is horrible. Sure it is functional ie ... has holes and can skim food from your fryer but... The wire mesh looks like a 3 year old hand wove it. Read more

good product
This is well built. I like materials and the long handle. It's good for frying as well as soups and stews. It's durable. I am glad I made the purchase.

Good Skimmer
I've had this skimmer for a few weeks now and have not had any problems with it. I ordered it because the last skimmer I had broke and I tend to use it a lot when cooking. Read more

perfect
This skimmer is so perfect for large fryers. We use a turker fryer to cook fries, onion rings, and squash whenever we have a big get together. This skimmer is the only way to go. Read more
