Questions & Answers

Which is better, a 5 inch screen or a 7 inch screen?

What you plan to do with it will determine whether you need it. It's important to have the 7 inch if you're pulling food out of a deep fat fryer- it gives you more splash back There is a free area in this section. In order to control water flow, I use my 7 inch spaetzle scoop to scoop out spaetzle from boiling water and French fries from the fryer, so I can choke up for good water control while extending out for better fat burn protection. My tools are stored in containers that are open on top of the counter. You might have a problem with the longer handle if you store it in a drawer.

Do you think this would work with spaghetti and angel hair pasta as well, There appear to be too many holes to fit thin pasta through. ?

Regardless of which pasta you use, the strainer will work just fine because pasta tends to lie lengthwise to Ramen has a diameter of about 4 inches, so I use it every time for traditional ramen.

There are varying reports on the basket size, some say it is 5" across, others say it is 4". How wide is it, and how deep is it, and how long is it?

There is a spider I have with a basket 5 inches in diameter which is 1 inch high. The depth of this container is 5 inches. Overall length is 14" (total handle length is 11". The handle of this basket is 9 inches long, and the height of the basket is 5". The fifth one)

Does anyone have experience with frying battered fish with this Would you prefer chips or fruit? What style of writing do the Brits prefer?

Any food that is deep-fried will work well with this There are many types of fish you can deep fry, and it also depends on the size of the fish. The following size is the standard frozen fish in supermarkets As far as I can tell, it You should cut large fish in half if they are too big.

Keep your tension in check
5/5

Keep your tension in check. People, you need to step up your game. In order to remove fried or boiled food from a pot, how do you do so? Is that right? How about tongs? What are you using a slotted spoon for? Would you mind taking the pot to the sink so the pasta can be drained? What a fool you are. Do you remember your mom saying that to you? I think it's time to step out of the shadows of the past and to start straining things in a normal way. As soon as I pull the pasta out of the water, I put it in the sauce right away. It's boom time. You want mashed potatoes, don't you? You can then use the starchy water for gravy or whatever you want. Pull them out and I have a reserve. It's boom time. It's so important to eat fried foods. Have you ever been to Hawaii? What is the point of continuing to read You need to make some food. Make it a habit to go out.

It is, by far, the best kitchen tool I own, truly a wonderful creation! I would give this tool 10 stars if I could since it is one of the best kitchen tools I have ever owned
5/5

In the past, I'd see cooks on TV cooking with one, and I'd see the chef at the local Chinese restaurant using one a lot, so I bought one and I really like The first time I attempted to use it, I thought it would just be to lift boiled eggs or broccoli, but I now use it for everything I need to lift. When I used to drain pasta/ziti I had to carry a pot of boiling water to the sink, but now I just lift what I need out and add it to Just to ensure I had a backup, two days after using this I ordered another one from Amazon.

There is no need to use a slotted spoon when using this super spider
5/5

I find it to be one of the most useful tools I own Whenever I need to lift something out of liquid on a stove or deep fryer, I use it The list includes boiled eggs, fritters, fried fish, fries, tofu, little pasta (like farfalle), and even tea bags when making ice It is worth noting that the bamboo handle is a good 10% better than aluminum The shelf is 9 inches long, angled toward the basket and firmly attached, so that hot liquids can be used without fear of scalding. It drains instantly due to the larger openings of the wire basket than a sieve or skimmer. There is a 5-in-1 in my possession I am satisfied with this inch spider and it meets all my requirements. It's the 7-year anniversary of Some of the smaller pots may not accommodate a spider that is more than an inch long. There's no way to beat using a slotted spoon with this. Safety and efficiency are guaranteed.

The size is good
5/5

It works exactly as expected, and is the perfect size to fish Asian foods can be made in small batches, as well as things like French fries when you do not want to use too much oil and need a small pot. This is a very efficient system. A quick note The daughter of renowned Chinese chef Joyce Chen, Helen Chen is known for her culinary expertise.

In the end, I purchased a spider with an 8 inch diameter
5/5

It was hard for me to choose between 7 and 8 There is a 5-inch and a 5-inch A spider measuring 3 inches in length. Thank you so much for making the 5 inch version available to me. It is just my husband and I who make pasta when I cook it, so I do not cook in a huge pot, instead I cook in a 4-quart pot Pot with a capacity of one quart. When it comes to pots of this size, the 5-inch one would work It is perfect to have a spider of this size. You will have no problem scooping out all the elusive pieces of pasta with this large pan. I like the way this spider is made. I found the material to be more sturdy than I expected.

I was impressed with how well this worked for me
5/5

It has been my desire for years to have a spider I don't know why I didn't order one I got this to pull out dumplings and wontons from water, and to retrieve fried foods from oils, etc. I got a smaller size because I usually work with dumplings, but I will order a larger size for fried items so I can pull more than two. at a time. I'm glad I've finally purchased this. It has great reviews, easy to learn how to use, and is easy to clean.

Is able to do what you ask
5/5

It's hard to say much Food is ladled out of its well as it is fried. The materials are durable, the cleaning isn't too difficult, and the features are great. It has never been easier now to make Karaage! I'm so glad. Please remember that this is not a fine-meshed strainer or anything of the sort, which means that it will not catch smaller pieces of fried breading or other food particles falling from your food and.

This was a smaller item than I anticipated
4/5

My first reaction was to grab a ruler when I saw this. The fact that this was 5" just blew my mind. There was only a little snow under 5 inches. It would have been nice to have one that had been larger. It would probably be best if you cut a piece of paper with a diameter of 5" and see if that is large enough for your needs. In other words, this looks very well made, and it can be used for years to come.
