A traditional Asian spider strainer is an essential cooking tool. It not only safely scoops up foods and drains away hot oil and boiling liquids, but it allows food to sit securely in its shallow mesh basket which prevents splashes and overall mess. We love its lightweight stainless steel construction and use ours for draining noodles or pasta, blanching vegetables, and deep frying.
Essential tools need essential recipes.
And these winners will put your spider strainer to great use: delectable Fried Pork Dumplings and a hearty Burmese Beef Curry with Rice Noodles.
