Made of lightweight nylon, this utensil is gentle on stainless-steel and nonstick cookware surfaces yet sturdy enough to scoop heavier portions of food. With its perforated 4-1/4-inch-diameter head, the versatile tool is ideal for lifting pierogi from boiling water or skimming the scum off the top of homemade chicken stock. Its nylon construction is heat-resistant up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit--so the skimmer can withstand high cooking temperatures without melting. Measuring 13-3/4 inches long, the skimmer keeps hands far away from hot cooktops, while the soft, rubber-coated, ergonomic handle provides a comfortable and safe grip for slippery hands. For convenience, this skimmer is dishwasher-safe and has an eye for hanging from a toolbar. This Cuisinart kitchen tool is covered by a five-year, limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde Choosing Appliance -> Cutting boards There seems to be little difference between hard wood and plastic cutting boards from a safety standpoint, as long as they are properly washed and sanitized after each use. Personally, I like the feel of solid wood. One piece of advice--buy large cutting boards. Don't bother with these tiny boards that everyone seems to have in his or her kitchen. They are not user friendly. Once you get down to serious cutting or chopping, the small boards are always woefully inadequate and downright maddening! Choosing Appliance -> Cooking Pans This is another area where spending money is justified. The best pans combine different metals like aluminum or copper on the outside and stainless steel on the inside. Aluminum and copper are valued for their ability to spread heat evenly over the entire pan, and stainless steel is valued for its non-reactive qualities. Buy pans which are heavy and thick with solid handles that are well fastened to the pot. As with knives, buy the highest quality cooking pans you can afford one at a time, starting with a saute pan and a 3 qt. sauce pan. They will last forever. At some point, a stock pot (which will be especially pricey) should be considered for serious cooking.
