Amazon.com Review
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

Customer Reviews

Typhoon Professional Cook's Wire Skimmer
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.

Just don't put it in the dishwasher
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.

Very sturdy
This skimmer is very sturdy in construction. It will probably last a long time. It is slightly heavy for someone with small hands and wrists like me. However, I would still buy it again because it is a good product.
