Buy Calphalon Stainless Utensils Skimmer

Customer Ratings:

I do a lot of baking and have always had difficulty getting a nice, thin layer of flour on the surface if I needed to roll dough out or shape bread. When I saw the Calphalon Stainless Skimmer with its lifetime warranty I thought it might work for my purposes. What a wonderful find! I can put some flour onto the top of the skimmer and then gently tap its edge. The result is an even, light dusting of flour on my work surface and a lot less mess than using other methods.

Further, when I am done working on the surface I can use a scraper to gather up the excess flour. Then I put it on the skimmer again and gently sift out any dough scraps so that I can reuse the dusting flour when I need to flour another work surface. Although some may balk at my recycling flour, when the price got so high several years ago, I decided it wasn't economical to throw out the remaining dusting flour.

I also found this skimmer ideal for turning bagels during the boiling process. When both sides have gone through that process, I use this skimmer to remove them to the baking sheet. Because it is a fine mesh, the water drains completely and there is a lot less mess.

The Calphalon Stainless Skimmer is a well made, sturdy item that should last for many years. The edge finish is smooth, the mesh seems to have no loose ends, and the rubberized grip prevents the skimmer from slipping when my hand is wet or greasy. Although this fine utensil works very well for skimming soups, broths, and sauces, I urge you not to limit its functions to only those areas. You will find this is a great multi-purpose kitchen tool and well worth adding to your collection.

If you make your own stocks, or home made soups, this item will save you time. Makes skimming stocks a breeze. The product is well made, the rubberized handle is great for tapping on the edge of the pot to get the liquid to pass though so it doesn't end up on the floor as you make your way to the sink. Should last for years and years with proper care.

Honest reviews on Calphalon Stainless Utensils Skimmer

The skimmer works splendidly, lifting foam and even fat off of simmered liquids with its fine screen. I was hoping it would last indefinitely. I would give it five stars if the welds holding the handle to the screen mounting hadn't broken after three years (I tapped it on the side of the sink and the ring holding the mesh simply fell off). I would give it three stars if I weren't going to replace it with the same model.

It's the right size (about 3.5 inches) and is highly functional as skimmer and fine-mesh strainer. It has the second-finest mesh in my kitchen, being slightly finer than a single layer of cheesecloth. The handle is comfortable, if bulky (taking up room in the canister I use to store it). The handle's rubber grips your hand and also every other handle in the canister on my kitchen counter where I store it (a slight downside). If you store it in a drawer, that would be no problem. I want faster access to it. The angle between the handle and the screen is just right. Shame I have to buy it again, but I am buying it again.

This skimmer is very well made, as are all the Calphalon products that I have purchased. It is a bit larger than I actually wanted,(the business end is about the size of a man's palm) but it works very well. I make home-made soups and stocks and need it often for the scum that first surfaces at the boil. Very reasonable price for such a well made tool.
