Super Scoops! Love this spider! Nov 30, 2008

Bought both the size 5 and 7. I use BOTH frequently, but size 7 is the one I use almost daily. I scoop vegetables, ravioli and pot stickers out of boiling water safely with the size 7 (to avoid the breakage caused when you dump in a colander)!! The 7 fits in most pots despite the size. I like the size 5 for the frying pans and deep fryer to keep the breading intact or scooping seafood quickly. The wooden handles are long so you can avoid the hot steam and oil! No more carrying dangerously heavy hot pots to the sink. The strainers are sturdy with handles that are very secure. I don't store them in drawers. I like them handy in the counter tool caddy near the range...they clear the cabinets easily.

By Spyce Not much to say about this product, it's a strainer. It does however beat using a slotted spoon to lift food out of boiling water or hot grease. I just started using it to dip spaetzle out of the pot in between batches. Works pretty good. This is a nice "filler" item if you are looking for something to add to your order to avoid shipping and handling.

Perfect May 26, 2006
By Roland There seems to be an emphasis on mesh strainers in this country, and thats all I seem to find in the grocery stores. Perhaps thats why Joyce Chen created this product - deep frying is alot easier without a mesh because mesh strainers do not allow the hot oil to drain fast enough or completely. Then when this happens you end up with alot of oil soaked fried onion rings, calamari or pakoras - whatever it is. This strainer is a must have for proper deep frying.

A Nifty, Must-Have Utensil Jan 02, 2008
By Tanya L. Roberts I purchased this on whim as a Christmas gift for my husband, who is the cook in our house. He has already used it several times and we are both wondering how he survived without it! It is a very high quality utensil and it makes frying "delicate" food very easy. I highly recommend this strainer.

Works well, but protruding wires shred sponges and towels Mar 04, 2011
By Eee Tee As others have said, strainers with wide mesh like this drain boiled and fried items better than typical screen-type strainers. Surface tension of water and oils get carried along easier with finer mesh. This strainer allows you to tap off excess water/oil easily and will drip less than slotted spoons or fine mesh.
My problem is that the ends of the wires wrapped around the outer ring stick out and were not wrapped flush. I discovered this by trying to hand wash the strainer - it shredded the sponge I used. Forget about wiping dry with a towel as it'll be snagged by the wires. The only practical way to hand wash is to swish in soapy water and air dry.
I spent a few minutes with a needle nose pliers in an attempt to bend the ends around so they don't snag so readily, but it still is a problem. I guess this strainer will be 'dishwasher only' for me.
