Slotted Silicone Serving Spoon with Wooden Handle for Draining

Falafel comes out of the oil carrying half a ladle of it. Boiled potatoes arrive at the table in a puddle. The tool did its job and brought the liquid along too.

How Does the Cut-Out Head on This Silicone Serving Spoon Drain Oil as You Lift?

• Cut-out head, so the liquid stays behind - falafel and chips leave the oil in the pan, boiled potatoes arrive dry, and meat comes out of stock without the stock.
• It saves you the colander - serving straight from the pot drains as it lifts, which is one fewer pan in the sink at the end of the meal.
• 150 g, because the slots are material removed - lighter in the hand than a solid head, and deliberately not a bowl scraper. It lifts things out of liquid instead.
• Cool where a metal slotted spoon is hot - silicone and wood barely conduct, so the heat of boiling water or frying oil stops at the food and never reaches your hand.
• Nothing crusts in the slots - hot oil and starchy water bake into the corners of a metal slotted spoon; silicone lets go of both under a running tap.

Where Can You Use This Cut-Out Silicone Serving Spoon?

• Lifting falafel and chips out of hot oil, leaving the oil in the pan
• Taking boiled potatoes and carrots out of the water so they reach the plate dry
• Fishing meat out of a pot of stock
• Serving vegetables straight from the pot with no colander in between
• Mixing a salad

Why Choose a Slotted Head Over a Solid One for Draining?

• Slots keep the food and drop the liquid - a solid head carries whatever it lifts; this one drains as it serves straight from the pot, so there is one fewer pan in the sink.
• Cool where a metal slotted spoon is hot - steel carries heat straight up its shaft, silicone conducts almost nothing, and the wooden handle conducts less still.
• The honest cost of the slots - they are material taken out, which is why it weighs 150 g and why it lifts things out of liquid instead of scraping a bowl clean.

Details

Material & Build

• Head: flexible silicone, cut out with open slots - it drains as it lifts, and it is gentle enough to be worked right around the base of a coated pot.
• Handle: wood - stays cool while the head is in hot fat, and does not soften or deform against a hot pot rim the way a plastic handle can.
• Heat: high temperatures on stovetops, in ovens and on grills.

Dimensions

• Weight: 150 g - lighter in the hand than a solid head of the same design, because the slots are material removed.

Colours

• White as listed, with gray also on the store.

Care

• Rinse under a running tap - the slots let go of oil and starch. Dry the wooden handle before storing it.
