HIC Kitchen Spider Strainer Basket
Best spider strainer for home cooks mastering Asian frying and blanching.
This spider strainer is the ultimate tool for anyone tired of fishing dumplings or fries out of hot oil with clumsy tongs. The deep, webbed basket makes quick work of blanching and frying, though its long, wooden handle means it takes up more drawer space than a standard slotted spoon.
