Wood and Silicone Skimmer – Wood Handle & Heat-Resistant

You buy the good non-stick pan, then you lift the falafel out of it with a steel slotted spoon, and by the third batch there is a bright scratch across the base where the coating used to be.

What Are the Key Features of This Silicone Skimmer with a Wooden Handle?

• A head softer than your pan coating: it can be dragged under something stuck without leaving the bright score a steel spoon leaves behind.
• It flexes, so the fillet stays whole: a rigid edge either gets under a piece of fish or breaks it; a flexible one follows the curve of the pan.
• A wooden handle stays cool: wood is a poor conductor, which is why it is fitted to the end you hold over a gas ring.
• 200 g in the hand: enough weight to push through a full pot without the flex turning into a wobble.
• Hand wash and dry it: the safe rule for any wooden handle.

Where Can You Use This Silicone Skimmer Spoon?

• Skimming the foam off boiling meat or a pot of stock
• Lifting taameya and aubergine slices out of hot oil
• Turning fish without breaking the fillet
• Serving chips and crisp vegetables without them sliding
• Mixing over heat when you do not want a metal edge in your good pan

Why Is Silicone Safer Than a Steel Spoon on Non-Stick Pans?

• Softer than your pan coating: steel is harder than non-stick and every scrape leaves a mark; silicone drags hard and leaves no score.
• Wood conducts heat badly: exactly what you want in the end you are holding while the other end sits in hot oil.

Material & Build

• Non-stick safe: gentle on coated cookware.
• It is heat resistant. Keep it out of a dry, empty pan on a high flame.

Dimensions

• Ask us and we'll measure one, especially if you cook in a tall stockpot.

Colours

• White, with Gray also sold.

Care

• Hand wash and dry. Wood should not stand in a sink full of water, because water gets into the grain and lifts it.
