Kitchen skimmer de Buyer 2701.04 stainless steel, wooden handle, 365 mm length, 110 mm width

The de Buyer kitchen skimmer from the B Bois collection is a stainless steel utensil with a wooden beech handle, designed for skimming, lifting and draining food from liquids, broths and hot oil. Measuring 365 mm in length and 110 mm in width with a weight of 152 g, the skimmer combines stonewashed stainless steel construction and a comfortable cool-to-the-touch wooden grip for reliable performance in professional and home kitchens. Its metal mesh surface and rigid frame provide efficient liquid drainage while the elongated handle keeps hands away from heat.

Advantages

Stonewashed stainless steel construction offers resistance to high temperatures and maintains a vintage-look finish while remaining easy to clean. The beechwood handle provides a secure, ergonomic grip and stays relatively cool during use. The wide metal mesh and sturdy rim enable fast straining and safe lifting of fried items, vegetables and skimming foam from stocks or sauces. Lightweight yet durable, the tool is balanced for precise handling.

Suitable for

• Removing foam and impurities from broths and stocks
• Retrieving fried or simmered items from hot oil or liquid
• Draining blanched vegetables, pasta or dumplings
• Serving large portions of poached food or braised ingredients

Key specifications

• Material: stonewashed stainless steel head, beechwood handle
• Overall length: 365 mm
• Head width: 110 mm
• Weight: 152 g
• Mesh-style skimming surface with rigid rim for support

How to use

Hold the skimmer by the beechwood handle and lower the stainless steel mesh into the cooking liquid or oil until food items are supported by the rim. Lift gently to allow excess liquid or oil to drain through the mesh before transferring food to a serving plate or draining container. For skimming foam, sweep the surface across the liquid and lift frequently to remove accumulated impurities. Keep the handle away from direct heat and flame; the length helps maintain a safe working distance.

Usage recommendations

After use, hand wash the skimmer in warm soapy water and dry the wooden handle immediately to preserve the beechwood. Do not leave the wooden handle soaking in water or expose it to prolonged high humidity. Periodically treat the handle with food-safe oil if needed to maintain appearance and prevent drying. Suitable for both professional kitchens and home cooking tasks that require gentle lifting and efficient draining.
