Nonoji Perforated Spoon – Large

If you drew a Venn diagram of a slotted spoon, a fine mesh colander and a spider, Nonoji’s Perforated Spoon would land right in the middle. Its unique shape and smooth, fine perforations made this an indispensable tool in our kitchen. The long, slender handle is comfortable and easy to control, and the broad bowl holds more food than you’d expect—making it ideal for blanching large batches of vegetables, deep-frying chicken or tempura and transferring cooked noodles from pot to skillet. The mirror-finish perforations allow water and oil to drain off efficiently and it won’t snag on soft or delicate foods (unlike poorly-machined, rough colanders and mesh strainers). Plus, the spoon is built from dishwasher-safe, 18-8 grade stainless steel—so when you’re done skimming tempura out of hot oil, you can toss the spoon right in the dishwasher. You may have a lot of spoons in your kitchen, but you don’t have one like this.
