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.

Not much to say about this product, it's a strainer. It does however beat using a slotted spoon to lift food out of boiling water or hot grease. I just started using it to dip spaetzle out of the pot in between batches. Works pretty good. This is a nice "filler" item if you are looking for something to add to your order to avoid shipping and handling.

There seems to be an emphasis on mesh strainers in this country, and thats all I seem to find in the grocery stores. Perhaps thats why Joyce Chen created this product - deep frying is alot easier without a mesh because mesh strainers do not allow the hot oil to drain fast enough or completely. Then when this happens you end up with alot of oil soaked fried onion rings, calamari or pakoras - whatever it is. This strainer is a must have for proper deep frying.

great
This is a great product, would have given 5 stars but as a result of the wire mesh it does tend to be a little more difficult to clean than I would prefer. Read more

Pierogies, anyone?
Wanted something to fish my pierogies out of the pot - this works really well. Also, it's a good-looking strainer. I also have the larger one.

Works well, but protruding wires shred sponges and towels
As others have said, strainers with wide mesh like this drain boiled and fried items better than typical screen-type strainers. Read more

I love this strainer. I use it for fried foods, as well as, for retrieving eggs out of boiling water (when making hard boiled eggs). The quality is good and the price is not bad. Read more

Because it has a bamboo handle, dishwasher is not recommended by manufacturer. However, we have put it in the dishwasher anyway without any problems. Read more

Strainer openings are perfect.
We have been using this strainer for not only fried foods, but for boiled foods as well. The openings are very well spaced so that food does not fall out when your scooping, but... Read more
