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.

This item is just a fine item. America's Test Kitchen (ATK) ran a test of "dippers" and this one did not win top honors, instead going to a metal-handled one costing about triple what this one costs (and this ships free too over $25 orders) Their reason for rejecting this one was that the wood handle might "hold smells and oil". I have used bamboo-handled kitchen devices of various sorts and have never had that kind of problem.. admittedly I never wash it in a dish washer either, and that may break down the natural structure of the wood.. I don't know. This was not mentioined by ATK.
This spider is wonderful for dipping out of hot liquids..
*It dips cleanly, leaving the liquid in the container.. this can really be annoying for frying because the oil ends up on your food or being wasted.
*It picks up a nice load of "stuff" too.. about the right size.
*I love the angled handle that allows you to "get into" the pots easily.
*The handle stays cool in all cases.
*In spite of it's size it doesn't take up a lot of drawer space.. fits neatly around other utensils
*It's cheap and durable
If you need a tool like this, I recommend it.
