Stalgast 160 mm Slotted Spoon for Professional Kitchens

A slotted spoon lifts food from hot liquid while letting the liquid drain away through its perforations. The slots allow steam and oil to escape, leaving the food on the spoon ready to serve or transfer. This method keeps fried items crisp, pasta separate and vegetables intact without carrying excess water or fat to the plate.

The operator lowers the spoon into the pot or fryer, scoops the food against the side to let the liquid run off, then lifts the food clear. The curved bowl fits the contours of most pans, so the spoon can reach every part without scraping the base. Large perforations speed up drainage, reducing the time food spends in contact with hot oil or boiling water.

The working bowl is made of stainless steel, which resists corrosion from acids, salts and repeated washing. The handle is also stainless steel, 350 mm long to keep hands clear of steam and splashes. Its length and solid construction allow the spoon to rest across the rim of a pot without tipping.

The 160 mm diameter bowl holds a generous portion while still fitting inside standard stock-pots and deep fryers. The 35 mm depth of the bowl prevents food from sliding off during transfer. Together, these dimensions suit the spoon to lifting pasta, vegetables, dumplings and fried items in professional kitchens.

Cleaning follows from the materials: stainless steel can be washed in hot water with detergent, scrubbed with a non-abrasive pad and dried immediately to prevent water spots. The perforations are large enough to brush through, so food particles do not clog the slots.
