Named for its weblike design, this spider skimmer from Helen's Asian Kitchen line is a handy, versatile tool for any food that needs quick draining. Crafted from rustproof stainless steel, the skimmer is sturdy and lightweight with a rounded shape that keeps hold of dumplings, wontons, and raviolis. Its netted design drains oils and water quickly and efficiently for better cooking results, and its bamboo handle is comfortable and heat-resistant. Measuring 5 inches in diameter, the skimmer is safe in the dishwasher for easy cleanup. A 7-inch version is also available. --Emily Bedard

Well made!
The strainer is well made and feels sturdy- the wire parts are not flimsy at all & are attached well to the handle. I do feel that the handle is almost too short, and the strainer part is almost too small, but I only cook for two so it suits my needs -and it fits in my kitchen drawer (a larger one would not).If you cook larger quantities of food though, I'd recommend going up to the bigger size. I'm a fairly petite woman and in the photo you can see the basket is only slightly larger than my hand.I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher because of the bamboo handle, but so far it's been easy enough to clean.It works well for me and I'm happy with my purchase.
