Skimmers

 

— a skimmer is a type of kitchen spoon that has a large round scoop with small holes or longitudinal slots. There are also models with a working part in the form of a sieve made of thin metal wire. One of the most popular ways to use a slotted spoon is to remove foam when cooking soups, broths, boiling potatoes, etc. In addition, such a spoon is useful for extracting pieces of solid food from a liquid — for example, it is convenient to get meat or fish from a cauldron or dumplings from a pan.
