Helen's Asian Kitchen Spider
Best durable strainer for home cooks who enjoy deep frying.
This classic spider is the ultimate tool for safely plucking dumplings or blanched vegetables from boiling water without the splash-back of a standard colander. While it takes up more drawer space than a slotted spoon, the superior drainage and heat-safe handle make it indispensable for anyone who fries or boils regularly.
