Slotted spoons are definitely useful, but they often lack the kind of straining ability and nimble handling best suited to certain dishes. The next time you’re looking to skim the unsightly foam from a simmering homemade pot of chicken broth or gingerly remove delicate dumplings from their frying oil, reach for a fine mesh skimmer instead.
Though they can act like handheld strainers perfect for rinsing berries and other small foods, they’re also capable of a wide variety of kitchen tasks. They’re a great choice for removing pieces of fried chicken from a deep skillet without destroying the crisp crust and transferring them to a rack to cool. Ditto for briskly transferring moving vegetables from boiling water to an ice bath to set their color.
