Helen’s Asian Kitchen Spider Strainer safely scoops up foods and drains hot oil and boiling liquids quickly for crisp, flavorful foods without excess liquid or greasy finish. The shallow open-mesh stainless steel strainer basket securely holds and transfers generous portions for easy mess-free serving. Nicknamed for its web-like design, this versatile kitchen utensil is essential for Japanese cooking and Chinese recipes, preparing ramen and udon, making homemade dumplings, wontons, crab rangoon, blanching vegetables, deep frying, tempura, spring rolls, egg rolls, scallion pancakes, and reheating leftovers. Measuring 7 x 5.25 x 16.75-inches, the reinforced basket with long stainless steel handle reaches the bottom of taller pots, keeps hands safe during cooking, draining, and serving, and hangs for convenient storage. Lightweight yet sturdy and durable for long-lasting performance during weeknight meals, holiday entertaining, and shared family dinners. Hand wash in warm, soapy water.
