Spider
When
we’re deep-frying, blanching, or boiling, we use a spider skimmer a
long-handled stainless-steel wire basket to remove food from the pot. Spiders
have larger capacities than slotted spoons and more open area for faster, safer
drainage. There are two basic spider basket designs; the traditional design is
made from thin wire mesh, and the more modern style has a spiral (or concentric
circles) of smooth, slightly thicker wire.
Stainless
steel basket resists staining, discoloration and rust; won’t react with foods
or impart a metallic taste.Natural bamboo handle stays cool during use and
won’t transfer heat to hands. Foods sit securely in shallow mesh basket to
prevent splashes and mess; use for draining noodles or pasta, blanching
vegetables, deep frying, and more. Lightweight and durable with superb balance
for excellent control and fatigue-free use; hangs for easy storage; dishwasher
safe for easy cleanup.
Waffle Cone Maker
Nonstick
waffle plates makes your sugar cones in about two minutes. It usually consists
of two hinged metal plates, molded to create the honeycomb pattern found on
waffles. The iron is heated and either batter is poured or dough is placed
between the plates, which are then closed to bake the waffle.
Apple Corer
An
apple corer is a device for removing the core and pips from an apple. It may
also be used for a pear, quince, or similar fruits.
Some
apple corers consist of a handle with a circular cutting device at the end.
When pushed through the apple, it removes the core, to the diameter of the
circular cutting device. The core can then be removed from the apple corer.
Another
type of apple corer can be placed on top of the apple and pushed through. This
both cores and slices the apple. This is also often called apple cutter. An
apple corer is often used when many apples need to be cored, from making an
apple pie to brewing cider.
In
the United Kingdom, several brands have also released their own brand of Apple
Corers, for example, Marks & Spencers Apple Corer, CoreStuff the Apple
Corer and John Lewis Apple Corer
