Combining form, function, and style, Typhoon has created a unique line of cookware tools, kitchen gadgets, and dinnerware items that coordinate with a variety of home decors and occasions. Designed with a contemporary flair, many of the housewares products blend a sophisticated sensibility with a retro edginess.
This large wire skimmer, with a wide mesh scoop head measures 17 inches long and is ideal for shallow or deep frying of shrimp, tempura, or french fries. Crafted from durable steel, with a nickel plate finish, the skimmer tolerates high temperatures while the long handle ensures that hands are safely away from the hot oil used for frying. The mesh head enables the excess oil to drain away so that food is not overly greasy. Typhoon recommends washing the skimmer by hand. --Lea Werbel

This is a great kitchen tool. It works well on fishing things out of hot oil or hot water. The only problem I have with it is I was in a hurry and put it in the dishwasher to clean and now it's a little rusty in a couple spots on the mesh. I scrubbed those by hand and rubbed a little cooking oil in. Take the time to wash by hand.

The quality of this spider strainer is unacceptable. After using it twice, and hand washing with soap and a sponge, I noticed it has rusted on the handle and all over the mesh. I had only used it to pick up ravioli and blanched vegetables; I can only imagine how it would look like if it'd been dipped in hot oil for frying. At any rate, I sent it back to get a refund and I'm awaiting a response.

This item is very well made and will last a lifetime. Easy to handle to get food out of hot oil without hands being close to the heat.
Great to have around if you ever deep fry food.

Functional and well made skimmer
My wife thought the "basket" on this skimmer would be larger (diameter wise) but it seems to be pretty functional an she has been using it, so I assume it works well. Read more

Rusted!
