Stainless steel skimmer spoon, Ø 160 mm. Suitable for skimming foam, fat, and other impurities from broths, soups, and sauces in professional and home kitchens.
A skimmer spoon removes surface impurities from hot liquids without disturbing the stock or sauce beneath. The perforated bowl lifts foam, fat and small particles while the holes allow the liquid to drain back into the pot, leaving the unwanted matter in the spoon. This method keeps the cooking medium clear and prevents off-flavours from developing during long simmering or deep-frying.
The operator lowers the bowl gently onto the surface, skims in a slow circular motion, then lifts the spoon and lets the liquid drain through the perforations before tipping the collected waste into a separate container. 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.
Made from a single piece of stainless steel, the spoon has no welded joints or crevices, so it resists corrosion and stays hygienic throughout repeated use. The 415 mm handle gives reach across large stock pots and deep fryers, while the 160 mm bowl covers enough surface area to skim efficiently without requiring multiple passes. The handle's gentle curve provides a secure grip and allows the spoon to hang on a rail or hook when not in use.
The stainless steel construction withstands the high temperatures of boiling liquids and the corrosive effects of acids and salts. It is dishwasher-safe, so cleaning is straightforward and thorough. The size and weight of the spoon make it stable in use, reducing the risk of spills or burns.
This skimmer spoon is supplied as a single article without variants or accessories.
