Oriental Wire Skimmer 14cm, Stainless Steel

An Oriental-style wire skimmer is a wok kitchen staple, built to lift food from hot oil or simmering liquid while leaving the excess behind. The fine stainless steel mesh drains quickly, so fried dumplings, spring rolls and blanched vegetables come out crisp rather than soggy.

Measures 14cm across the wire head, with a rosewood handle that stays comfortable to hold even during longer stints at the wok. A hanging hook on the handle end makes it easy to keep within reach on a rail or hook near the stovetop rather than buried in a drawer. The stainless steel head resists staining from oil and won't hold onto odours the way some materials do, making it easy to keep clean between uses.

• Stainless steel wire mesh head for quick draining
• Rosewood handle for a comfortable, secure grip
• Hanging hook for handy stovetop storage
• Suits frying, blanching and lifting noodles from the wok

A handy tool for wok cooking, from frying dumplings to blanching greens or draining noodles straight from the pot.
