Summary: Makes a Mess
Comment: I used this skimmer for the first time yesterday and it failed miserably. The description says oil and fat can't get through the fine mesh and that's true to a point. Some fat does stay on top of the mesh but a lot escaped back into the pan and, worse, onto my stove top making a mess. I gave up on the skimmer after a while and used my old gravy separator which works perfectly.

Editorial Review

So easy to skim fat or oil off the top. Broth and soups will be fat-free. Fat and oil cannot go through the very fine stainless mesh screen. No kitchen should be without this great skimmer. Buy several! Small 2-3/4" x 9" $1.95 Medium 4" x 10.5" $2.50 Large 5" x 12" $3.50

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.

Choosing Appliance -> Non-stick Pans

We recommend having at least 1 high quality non-stick saute pan. It makes cooking eggs and delicate items like fish a breeze. It also cuts down on the amount of fat necessary to effectively saute. The best place to buy such pans is from a restaurant supplier.

Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Maintain Electrical Safely

The insulation on electrical cords can become damaged by wear, flexing, or age. Do not use any cord that is stiff or cracked. Some clues that you may have an electrical problem are:

Flickering lights. If the lights dim every time you turn on an appliance that circuit is overloaded or has a loose connection.
Sparks. If sparks appear when you insert or remove a plug, they could be a sign of loose connections.
Warm electrical cord. If an electrical cord is warm to the touch, the cord is underrated or defective.
Frequent blown fuses or broken circuits. A fuse or circuit breaker that keeps tripping is an important warning sign of problems.
Frequent bulb burnout. A light bulb that burns out frequently is a sign that the bulb is too high a wattage for the fixture.
