When using a wok, mise en place isn’t just about your ingredients—it’s about your tools, too. Draining liquids and oils away quickly while stir-frying, frying or boiling requires sturdy but agile equipment with enough surface area to easily get under your ingredients, while keeping your hands at a safe distance. The right tools can make all the difference in how your dinner turns out.
Milk Street’s Wok Skimmer is custom-designed to work seamlessly with the Milk Street Hammered Wok. This well-built, stainless steel tool features the right handle length and bowl size for nimble and efficient use, unlike flimsy, poorly made tools that aren’t big or wide enough to be effective in a wok. It scoops, strains and drains effortlessly—and excels when used in tandem with the Milk Street Wok Spatula. The satin-finished steel is dishwasher-safe, rust-proof and nearly impervious to wear.
And despite its name, the Milk Street Wok Skimmer is terrific beyond the wok. Its uniquely perforated head makes it an ideal tool for lifting blanched vegetables or deep-fried foods out of hot water and red-hot oil. Or use it to strain delicate stuffed pastas, like tortellini or spaetzle, out of a simmering pot to avoid breaking them. It’s even great for skimming broths and stocks.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Perfect companion for our Milk Street 13-Inch Wok or the Milk Street 10.5-Inch Wok. Pair with the Milk Street Wok Spatula.
