Explore your favorite recipes in your kitchen - the safe way. The noodle strainer keeps your hands well away from hot oil and boiling water as you scoop portions for serving. With the strainer's long handle, it reaches right to the bottom of deep fat fryers, stockpots, and saucepans. The fine mesh basket holds ample amounts too: it's perfect for blanching ramen noodles, deep frying crisp tempura, boiling little gyoza dumplings, and lots more. When you take them from the pan, any excess liquids simply drain away. Does your recipe need more time to cook? This noodle straining basket features a built-in rest, so you can leave your food to blanch, boil or fry - without having to stand over it.
