Collection: Skimmers

Commercial skimmers are wire-mesh and slotted-spoon tools for retrieving food from hot oil, boiling water, stocks and frying baskets. Hospitality Connect supplies the trade range from Chef Inox, Wiltshire, Vogue and other commercial lines, in 150-300mm head diameters and 400-700mm handle lengths.

Choosing the right skimmer

• Mesh-bowl skimmers: Round wire mesh head; the standard tool for fryer and stockpot work.
• Slotted spoons: Stamped stainless slotted bowls; for retrieving dumplings, ravioli and gnocchi.
• Wok skimmers (spider): Wide bamboo or wire-mesh head with long handle for noodle and dumpling work.
• Long-handle catering skimmers: 700mm+ handle for 50L+ stockpots and bain marie work.

Use cases and care

• Match skimmer to pot: Skimmer head should be no wider than 60% of pot diameter for clean retrieval.
• Inspect mesh weld monthly: Broken mesh strands fall into product as foreign body risk.
• Hand-wash mesh: Dishwasher detergent leaves residue in fine mesh; rinse under running water and dry.
• Store hanging: Wall-mounted hooks keep skimmers off the bench and air-dry the mesh.
