Easily remove Dutch doughnuts, fries and snacks from hot oil

Make deep frying safer and more convenient with this long 41 cm skimmer spoon. The wide, perforated spoon head helps you lift Dutch doughnuts, fries, onion rings, croquettes, spring rolls and other fried snacks from hot oil. Excess oil drains through the openings and returns to the fryer, allowing food to drip before serving.

Thanks to its 41 cm length, the deep-frying spoon helps you keep more distance from hot oil and splashes. The spoon head measures approximately 12 cm wide, providing enough room for larger snacks such as Dutch doughnuts. At approximately 146 grams, the skimmer spoon is lightweight and comfortable to handle.

Ideal for Dutch doughnuts and much more

This versatile frying skimmer spoon is not only suitable for preparing Dutch doughnuts. Use it for:

• Dutch doughnuts and apple fritters
• French fries and potato wedges
• Onion rings
• Croquettes and fried snack balls
• Spring rolls and other deep-fried snacks
• Vegetables, dumplings and food cooked in hot water
• Removing solid ingredients from stock or soup

The perforated head works like a draining spoon. Food remains on the spoon while oil, water or stock runs through the openings. This makes it a practical kitchen utensil for frying, cooking, draining and serving.

Long handle for more comfortable frying

The long handle lets you reach into a deep pan or fryer without bringing your hand unnecessarily close to the hot oil. You can use the spoon to turn food, lift it from the fryer and allow excess oil to drain above the pan.

Its wide spoon head supports round Dutch doughnuts as well as smaller fried snacks. Several small items can be lifted at the same time, helping you work more efficiently while frying.

Always lower and remove food carefully to reduce splashing, and follow the safety instructions supplied with your fryer or pan.

Perforated spoon head for efficient draining

The openings in the spoon head allow excess cooking oil or water to drain away quickly. This helps prevent unnecessary liquid from being transferred to a plate, bowl or serving dish.

The spoon can also be used when boiling or blanching ingredients. Lift vegetables, dumplings or other solid foods from hot water while leaving most of the liquid behind.

Strong metal construction

The metal skimmer spoon has a firm construction suitable for regular kitchen use. Its silver-coloured finish gives it a classic appearance that combines easily with other metal kitchen utensils.

The spoon is intended for lifting and draining food. Avoid pressing forcefully against delicate cookware. When using it with a non-stick pan or fryer basket, check the cookware manufacturer’s instructions first, as metal utensils may not be suitable for every coating.

Dishwasher-safe and easy to hang

According to the product specifications, the skimmer spoon is dishwasher-safe. For easier cleaning, rinse away oil and food residue shortly after use before it has time to dry.

A hanging loop at the end of the handle allows you to store the frying spoon on a kitchen rail or hook. This keeps it within easy reach and saves space inside kitchen drawers.

Yes. The end of the handle has a hanging loop, allowing the spoon to be stored on a kitchen hook or utensil rail.

Can I use it with a non-stick pan?

Take care when using any metal utensil with a non-stick surface. Metal may damage sensitive coatings. Check the care instructions for your pan or fryer before use, and avoid scraping the spoon across the surface.

Is it suitable for professional kitchens?

The long handle and perforated design make it useful for frequent frying and cooking tasks. Whether it is suitable for commercial use depends on the specific material quality and the requirements of the professional kitchen.
