Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen 7-inch Spider Skimmer
Customer Review: Cheap...Lots of Splinters!
Summary: 2 Stars
While I have to commend the company on it's speedy shipping the product itself is incredibly cheap.
The wooden handle on the one I received had little cracks and lots of splinters. I actually got a good size splinter in my hand from simply unwrapping it!
Even the wire mesh has some sharp edges (which should have been smoothed down so as to prevent the possibility of cutting yourself).
Judging by the quality I doubt if it will last long and quite honestly I don't think this should sell for more than a couple of dollars...certainly not nearly $10 for something that looks like it will fall apart after a few uses.
Description of Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen 7-inch Spider Skimmer
Helen?s Asian Kitchen stainless steel strainer featrues a 7-inch diameter stainless steel bowl that won't rust and is dishwasher safe. The bamboo handle is non-conductive so it does not transfer heat. Discover what cooks in the orient have known for centuries. The web-like design of the bowl quickly whicks away oils, water and broth. This means, when frying, the strainer quickly disipates the oil away from the food leaving a crisp, crunchy coating. When pulling food out of boiling water or broth, the open, web shape leaves the liquid behind.Named for its weblike design, this spider skimmer from Helen's Asian Kitchen line is a handy, versatile tool for any food that needs quick draining. Crafted from rustproof stainless steel, the skimmer is sturdy and lightweight with a rounded shape that keeps hold of dumplings, wontons, and raviolis. Its netted design drains oils and water quickly and efficiently for better cooking results, and its bamboo handle is comfortable and heat-resistant. Measuring 7 inches in diameter, the skimmer is safe in the dishwasher for easy cleanup. A 5-inch version is also available. --Emily Bedard
