Note: Our winning spider skimmer, the Kuhn Rikon Spider Skimmer, Small, has been discontinued. In its place, we recommend the the Rösle Wire Skimmer. Our new Best Buy is the WMF Profi Plus Spider Strainer 14″ (5″ dia.).

The small is now $29.00
Please update this video or take it down.
THIS NEEDS AN UPDATE. As of 6.10.2022 the "best buy" WMF spider is $44 on Amazon and the Rösle Wire Skimmer is $35 on Amazon. Both are unrealistically expensive!
What the hell…this is America..There is no 1.33 inches commonly used here… Show me that on a ruler.!!! Freaking Jackass… 1 5/16 would be close …
How do you clean these!?! Especially if they are bamboo handle and can't go in the dishwasher. The wire mesh is awful to get clean.
I love the newer style…works great in my kitchen!
Watched this review today … https://kitchendining.net/best-cooking-skimmers/
Аmazon offers great prices. What suits one baker may not be the best fit for another.
What else can spider skimmers be used for in the kitchen , besides donuts and sweet things ?
Buy the helens asian kitchen bamboo spider skimmer instead. It’s about $12
Go to any large Asian grocery store and you can find a good one for a much cheaper price.
In the video description, there is a link to buy the " our updated winning spider skimmer" spider skimmer. It's $40; twice the price of the recommended one. It has a metal handle. WTH???
Thx. Enough with the doughnut bit, though – you're trying to hard to be "funny." I miss Chris Kimball.
I like the traditional bamboo handle spider.😁
I’ve searched the internet including Kuhn Rikon’s site and they do not even sell this one with the nice rubber grip. Really disappointed that the information is not correct.
The link did not go to this skimmer and it doesn’t appear that Amazon carries the Kuhn that you are showing – help? I love your reviews and try to get what your kitchen recommends.
Go to an asian store, the biggest one you can find. Ours is Sun Foods, it's pretty much the walmart of Asian food.
You can get these things for like $7
You guys must be running out of things to talk about.
Not an Oxo product?
What happened to the bespectacled white guy?
I need to get a skimmer since that is one tool my kitchen don't have.
Nice and to the point!!! Excellent!
These are expensive. Where I live they cost 2 to 4$.
looking for that donut recipe link
double in price
I prefer the old style, this one is too focused on chit chatting just get to it 🤔
An eight of an inch is fine and dandy, but one and a third, isn't?
I miss Lisa's review.
When Spiderman makes doughnuts…yep…
Technically those are basket skimmers, not spider skimmers given the "baskets" do not have the spider design.
What about ease of cleaning?
