Stainless steel skimmer spoon, Ø 140 mm. Suitable for skimming foam, fat, and other impurities from broths, soups, and sauces in professional and home kitchens.
A skimmer spoon removes foam, fat and small particles from the surface of hot liquids without disturbing the stock or sauce beneath. The perforated bowl lets the liquid drain back into the pot while the unwanted material stays in the spoon. This method keeps the flavour of the base liquid intact and speeds up the clarification process in stocks, soups and deep-frying vats.
To use the skimmer, lower the bowl gently onto the surface of the liquid and skim in slow, even strokes. The curved handle keeps the hand clear of steam and splashes, and the one-piece construction means there are no seams or joints where food can lodge. When the bowl is full, lift it out, let the liquid drain through the perforations, then tip the contents into a waste container or onto a tray for inspection. The same perforations make it easy to shake off excess oil when retrieving fried items from a fryer.
The Stalgast Monoblock skimmer spoon is formed from a single piece of stainless steel, so there are no welds or crevices that can trap debris or harbour bacteria. The 140 mm diameter bowl gives enough surface area to skim a large pot in a few passes, while the 380 mm handle reaches comfortably into deep stockpots and fryers without risking contact with the sides or the heating element. The handle's gentle curve provides a secure grip and a hook for hanging the spoon on a rail or peg when not in use.
Stainless steel construction resists corrosion from acids, alkalis and repeated washing, and the smooth surface releases food particles readily. The spoon is dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing in warm soapy water immediately after use prevents baked-on residues and keeps the perforations clear. Regular inspection of the bowl and handle for sharp edges or burrs ensures safe handling and long service.
The Monoblock skimmer spoon fits any professional kitchen where stocks, sauces, soups or fried foods are prepared. Its one-piece design meets the hygiene standards of commercial kitchens, catering operations and food-service establishments.
