Customer Reviews of Calphalon Nylon Skimmer
Customer Rating:  Summary: Great Nylon Skimmer Comment: Great Calphalon brand, reliable and trustworthy. Will last forever. Shows no wear. Great to use for non-stick pots and pans. Customer Rating:  Summary: compared to other Calphalon products, this is just "so-so" Comment: We got this utensil free as part of a Calphalon promo when we purchased a set of their pots and pans (which we highly recommend), and I must confess that we get way more use from the other Calphalon products that we own than we do from this utensil. The function of this skimmer is too specific to be used for anything other than skimming and it doesn't always do a good job of that. The size of the scoop is excellent, but the width of the slots seem to be too wide to productivly skim on a consistant basis. We sometimes use this for scooping pasta, but any regular slotted spoon can accomplish that just as well. If you want a good quality Calphalon utensil, try the very multi-functional "stir fry scoop", which I would rate 5 stars. We use that ALL the time! Customer Rating: Summary: Not good for skimming Comment: The slots are easier to clean than some brands' holes but they are too large for skimming foam/crud from stock/etc. Instead, I use a small plastic mesh screen (about 6" long and [inexpensive] from the local supermarket) which fits neatly inside a deep stock pot--something that all the long-handled ones won't do. The Calphalon skimmer gets occasional use stir-frying, but you do have to be careful since temperatures can exceed 400 oF. Also, I found that all the Calphalon tools tend to get a little "limp" when hot. Customer Rating: Summary: Looks good...but Comment: It melted in the first time I used it, and I just used it to get my dumplings. Customer Rating: Summary: A permanent resident in my kitchen Comment: I won't dribel on about the quality of the Calphalon utensils as everyone already knows that. I will drivel on however about how much I use this skimmer. In the fall during canning season this is by far the best for skimming up blanced beans or hot tomatoes or peaches. The cup area on the skimmer is large and will haul more than you think. More Reviews Lift food from boiling water, frying oil and broths using this skimmer, which is kind to non-stick surfaces. 
Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers Added features such as ice making and drinks dispensers can all add to the appeal of certain models. Ice making is an option on many American style fridge-freezers, sometimes available without opening the door, as are cold water dispensers. Zoned models offer several storage areas, all at different temperatures, designed to keep a variety of foods fresh for longer. Most manufacturers now offer adjustable shelf heights and storage units which simplify food storage. Choosing Appliance -> Sinks Consider which accessories might be beneficial. Many models can be supplied with a draining basket, chopping board and strainer bowls. A drainer extension can be useful for sinks without a drainer where worktop space is limited in a small kitchen.

Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Cleaning & Maintenance Oven Never use a scouring pad of any sort to remove stubborn stains or soiled areas, since these pads scratch the finish and any future soiled areas won't clean up as well, especially with the self-cleaning models. When the oven is cool to the touch, place a cloth or sponge, dampened with warm to hot tap water, onto the soiled area and allow it to sit, for about ten minutes or so, to help loosen the soil. |
