Ask a Question About This Product
The Karaca Silva Silicone Skimmer is a 33.5cm heat-resistant utensil used in commercial kitchens for skimming, straining, and transferring food during frying, blanching, and simmering operations. The silicone head withstands temperatures up to 230°C. Kitchen staff use it across prep stations, fryers, and pasta boilers in restaurants, hotels, and catering operations.
Commercial Application
Commercial kitchens require utensils that handle repeated high-heat contact without warping or contaminating food. This skimmer addresses thermal stress in fryer and blanching stations where metal tools damage non-stick surfaces and plastic alternatives melt. The 33.5cm length keeps hands clear of heat zones during active service.
Line cooks use it during peak service to lift fried items, drain blanched vegetables, and retrieve poached proteins. The perforated silicone head drains liquids rapidly while retaining solid food. Dishwasher-safe construction supports high-volume cleaning cycles without degradation.
