Stalgast Monoblock Skimmer – 400 mm One-Piece Stainless Steel

A skimmer removes foam from stocks and broths, lifts blanched vegetables from boiling water, and drains fried items from hot oil without transferring excess liquid. The perforated bowl sits beneath the surface, allowing liquid to pass through while solids remain in the mesh. This method keeps food intact and reduces the risk of splashing or carrying over unwanted moisture, which can dilute sauces or make fried items soggy.

The operator lowers the bowl into the liquid, moves it gently to collect the target material, then lifts it clear. The perforations drain the liquid immediately, leaving only the food or foam on the skimmer. The long handle keeps the hand away from steam and hot surfaces, and the one-piece construction means there are no seams or joints where food can lodge.

Built from a single piece of stainless steel, the Monoblock skimmer has no welded joints or crevices. This construction resists corrosion, withstands repeated washing, and meets hygiene standards in professional kitchens. The handle is shaped to fit the hand securely, even when wet or greasy, and the 400 mm length provides reach across deep pots and vats.

The perforated bowl measures approximately 105 mm across, giving enough surface area to skim or lift portions without overcrowding. Stainless steel is non-reactive, so it does not alter the taste of food or react with acidic or alkaline liquids.

Cleaning follows from the one-piece design: there are no gaps or seams to trap residue. The skimmer can be washed by hand in hot soapy water or placed in a commercial dishwasher without risk of damage or warping.

The Monoblock skimmer is listed in the Stalgast catalogue under professional kitchen utensils and small equipment.
