The Vine Voices
loved the Tom Douglas by Pinzon chef's board and they've found another winner in the new brand's
bamboo-handled skimmer. An essential kitchen tool for Tom, he uses it in his restaurants to skim wontons, dumplings, ravioli, gnocchi, and more from oil, broth, or water. It's easy to see that the Vine Voices have also found numerous reasons to consider the skimmer an essential in their own kitchens, making the tool a handy helper for everything from tomatoes for canning to hops for brewing. Here's what a few of them wrote in their Amazon customer reviews:
Margaret Thomas "tygerkittn" says,
Sturdy, love the long handle
This is very nice! I've had it for a couple of months, and it's very sturdy and works very well. My husband also uses it for his home brew, to lift the hops bag out of the boiling water and let it drain, or something like that (I try not to go in the kitchen when he's brewing!) We both like it, it's a good price for a kitchen tool like this.
Renaissance Man says,
Well made, but rather large
This skimmer is well made when compared to most inexpensive bamboo implements. It is about 22 inches long and will probably need to hang somewhere on a hook. It seems ideal for a very large outdoor wok or perhaps to remove something from a deep stock pot.
Billie Vanderburg "Smart Shopper" says,
Better Than Expected This is a 'must have' kitchen tool. It is extremely handy for lifting large objects from boiling water, such as all my tomatoes I canned this summer. They were a breeze to lift in and out of the water for skinning. I'm sure this would work just as well for peaches, but unfortunately, we didn't have a crop of peaches this year. But when we do, I will be ready with my lifter!
Sid V "Sid" says, Really Well Made
I've ordered some of the other Pinzon products with mixed results. I guess the Tom Douglas line is the premium line from Pinzon since this product is way over the top in terms of quality. The fit and finish is excellent in every regard. This is a large skimmer that is best used for a large pot; the one you would use for pasta. I found this product very easy to use when fishing out ravioli. If you are looking for a large skimmer, I highly recommend this.
