What is a mesh skimmer?

A mesh skimmer is a must-have for any commercial kitchen, offering precision and versatility in everything from frying to preparing clear broths. Whether you need to skim impurities from a boil, remove excess oil from fried foods, or strain delicate ingredients, Tomkin’s collection of skimmers is designed to handle it all.

Here’s what makes our skimmers essential for your cooking process:

• Perfect for broths and soups — A fine mesh skimmer ensures that impurities, fat, and foam are easily removed from broth, chicken stock, and other clear soups.

• Oil removal for frying — Skim excess oil from the surface of deep fryers to keep food crisp without excess grease.

• Quick and efficient scooping — Whether you need to scoop dumplings, vegetables, or poached eggs from boiling water, our long-handle skimmers make the job effortless.

With an ergonomic design and dishwasher-safe construction, our skimmers are built for frequent use in busy kitchens.

Fine mesh skimmers for precise cooking 

A fine mesh skimmer is ideal for chefs who need precision when preparing soups, sauces, and stocks. Designed to catch even the smallest food particles, these skimmers help maintain the clarity and purity of liquid-based dishes.

• Perfect for skimming foam off boiling broth to ensure a smooth, clean flavour.

• Removes food debris from frying oil, keeping it fresh for extended use.

• Strains poached and delicate foods without breakage, making it perfect for fine dining kitchens.

With many uses across different cuisines, a fine mesh skimmer is an indispensable tool in any professional kitchen.

Spiral skimmers for heavy-duty scooping

For larger and heavier ingredients, a spiral skimmer is the perfect solution. Unlike a fine mesh skimmer, a spiral skimmer features a strong wire design that allows liquid to drain quickly while providing better support for solid ingredients.

• Ideal for scooping dumplings, pasta, and fried foods from hot oil or boiling water.

• Easily lifts larger food items like battered seafood, meatballs, and even noodles.

• Designed for heavy use, making it perfect for deep-frying stations and high-volume cooking environments.

Tomkin’s spiral skimmer range is made from high-quality materials to ensure strength and reliability in demanding kitchen conditions.
