Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The heatproof handle is outstanding for deep-frying and  boiling tasks.
  • Con: Its large 140mm head may be a bit unwieldy for smaller saucepans.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Mill Smokehouse in Inverness needed to upgrade their kitchen utensils after their chefs complained about standard skimmers breaking or their plastic handles melting near the fryers, posing a safety risk. They invested in several Matfer DA215 mesh skimmers.

"The moment you hold it, you know it's different. The handle stays cool no matter what, and  the single-piece head is so much stronger and  easier to clean than our old ones. It's a small change that's made a big impact on daily service."

Robert Grant – Head Chef

This simple switch completely eliminated utensil failure during service and  boosted staff confidence when working with deep fryers.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give it a thorough wash in hot, soapy water before its first use.
  • Ensure you have a suitable hook or rack for storage using the built-in hanging loop.
  • Check that your pot washers or dishwashers don't use overly harsh, abrasive chemicals.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean promptly after use to prevent food from drying onto the fine mesh.
  • The skimmer is dishwasher safe for your convenience.
  • Avoid using steel wool or harsh scourers on the mesh to maintain its integrity.
  • Periodically check that the handle and  head are still firmly joined, though it's built to last.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Skimmer

Not sure which skimmer fits your kitchen's needs best? Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Handle Material

Look for heat-resistant materials like Exoglass or silicone. Standard plastic can melt or degrade when left near fryers, creating a safety hazard.

Mesh or Perforations

A fine mesh (like on the Matfer DA215) is perfect for skimming foam from stocks or retrieving small items. Wider perforations are better for larger, solid items like potatoes.

Construction Quality

A single-piece or securely welded head is crucial. Cheaper, spot-welded models can break under the weight of heavy food, especially when hot.

Length and  Size

Match the spoon's length to the depth of your pots and  fryers. A longer handle keeps you safe from splashes and  steam.

Hygiene and  Cleaning

Smooth, non-porous materials and  a seamless design are easier to clean and  more hygienic. A hanging loop is a huge bonus for air drying and  tidy storage.

Why an Exoglass Handle is a Chef's Best Mate

Ever grabbed a metal spoon handle that's been left resting on a hot pan? Exoglass is designed to prevent exactly that. It's a special composite material, reinforced with fibreglass, that's an incredibly poor conductor of heat. Think of it like the cork on a thermos flask; while the inside is boiling hot, the outside remains perfectly comfortable to hold. This means you can leave the skimmer resting against a stockpot or fryer (up to 220°C) and  the handle will stay cool, preventing burns and  giving you the confidence to work quickly and  safely. It's also non-porous, so it won't absorb odours or harbour bacteria, making it exceptionally hygienic.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fish & Chip Shops: Effortlessly lift and  drain perfectly cooked fish and  chips straight from the fryer with total confidence.
  • Event Caterers: An essential for blanching large batches of vegetables or scooping poached items for buffets.
  • Asian & World Food Restaurants: Ideal for retrieving dumplings, wontons, noodles, or tempura from boiling water or oil safely.
  • Culinary Schools & Colleges: A durable, safe, and  professional tool for teaching students the correct techniques in a busy training kitchen.
