Lifters and Skimmers

Lifters and skimmers, are also known as kitchen spiders, because the wire mesh resembles a spider’s web. Spiders are practical utensils that serve many uses, including retrieving hot fried foods, skimming broths and for blanching vegetables. These utensils are made from stainless steel and nickel steel, making them strong and hygienic, perfect for use in commercial kitchens. Spiders are available with long handles to ensure safety when removing food from hot oil or water. Basket skimmers and spoon sieves feature a finer mesh, ideally suited to removing small pieces of food from oil, or removing the foam from a miso soup for best presentation.
