This is a great skimmer. We use it for the fryer on my food truck and it works well. Note the size; it is quite large! But for the price, it's great!

This skimmer feels great to hold. although a bit slim, the handle doesn't hurt your hands while you use it. The width is a good size for our needs and is well built.

I love this thing. So many uses for it in my kitchen. From straining boodles to shaking off breading on chicken Nuggets. You need one.

This skimmer is very sturdy and it is definitely a large skimmer. The handle is all steel so it could get slippery if you're using it with oil.

Great quality all around. Nice handle, nice mesh. It's bigger than I need, but that's nice for some applications. Overall, the 7" is probably my favorite size, but I like having this one, too.

A fantastic item. I use it frequently for frying/blanching. The mesh size is good for items like chicken, fries, or large vegetables. The hook on the end also makes for easy storage.

This is a very large skimmer, and was actually a little large than I had expected. Good for a big pot, but actually turned out not to be suitable for my needs, which was as a dipper for waxing cheeses.

We love this spiral wire skimmer. It's very large though, and we most certainly underestimated the size of 9 in. It's probably only usable in very large pots.

This skimmer is very sturdy. Depending on what you plan to use it for, the space between the mesh may be too big. I mostly use it for frying and large pasta, but i don't think it would work well for smaller pasta like macaroni.

Pretty good skimmer! It has held up well in a high volume frying capacity for almost a year now. The only knock is that the outer wires have a tendency to bend and catch on things inside the fryer. You may need to bend them back in place occasionally.

I love this product and have bought many over the years. I wish they were able to hold up to wear and tear better. I have issues with them becoming brittle after time and pieces falling off. Don't leave them in a pot of boiling water when blanching as it takes the finish off the outside. After the finish is off that's when they start to break down.

For some reason skimmers like this are expensive in restaurant stores in the area. This was way cheaper, but of good quality. Thick metal and mesh. Works great for raviolis, or frying.

The skimmer portion is large, but the handle is a bit shorter than my existing spider. I like that there's a hook to hang it with, though with how I store it, it ends up getting hooked on random things.

These are okay but not the highest of quality. They gum up easily as well as bend. They also do not handle heat well, and are prone to staining.

it's a little large and bulky for home use, but for a busy restaurant this is a great spider / strainer. it's really well made and robust, and the hand is very long so you can get deep into large pots and get things out.

These are great for getting those little crumbs and floaters that may clog up your sink area. The wire stays together really well also. We recommend.

Great skimmer for boiling and/or frying. It's large enough to scoop up heavy items but small enough to pick out items and leave others that aren't done cooking.

This skimmer has a long and sturdy handle that doesn't bend under the weight of food. It allows for safe use near hot liquids by creating sufficient distance between the user and the pot/fryer.
