Product Description

Amazon.com Review

One of Rösle's superb kitchen utensils, this skimmer has a slightly cupped, finely perforated head for removing froth from stocks and soups, retrieving pasta from boiling water, and separating fried food from hot oil. The skimmer measures 13.8 inches long, and the head is 4.7 inches in diameter. Like all Rösle utensils, tools, and Open Kitchen storage components, the skimmer is made of 18/10 stainless steel for rustproof beauty and long-lasting durability. The skimmer is hygienically seamless, with a mirror-finish head and a satin-finish handle that conceals finger marks. A subtle center groove and rounded edges ensure a secure, comfortable grip. A hook on the end allows the skimmer to be conveniently stored on a Rösle basic rail or Gridwall in the Open Kitchen organizing system. All Rösle products are dishwasher-safe, and carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Product Description

This fine skimmer is perfect for skimming and straining pasta or noodles and lifting out deep-fried items. Liquid drains quickly away through the large area of fine perforations. Small pieces of food can be completely lifted out from the liquid. Like all Rosle Tools, this one is made by a team of engineers and artisans who combine the best of both worlds spending days, months or sometimes years developing and designing each of their tools to exacting standards and specifications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice. Wide Head, May 24, 2008

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.

I have been shopping through Amazon for years and have always trusted them to provide the correct discription for every item. This skimmer, however was labeled incorrectly. The discription said it was made in Germany but it was made in China. I only purchased it because I had been looking for a skimmer that was made any where other than China. And the price was way too much for a chinese product. I can only hope that Amazon will look at the product itself before putting it on their site for sale. I'm not sure if I will buy anything from amazon that will make a difference to me as to its origin.

Love this tool for fast draining for a few pieces from cooking pan. I do not use it a lot but it is always there when I need it and great for the job, easy to clean and lasts forever.
