OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Skimmer
The one and only answer when the job is small and you don't want to wrestle with a colander, this skimmer, with a large perforated surface, strains vegetables and smaller pasta shapes easily and with much less cleanup. Made of durable stainless steel, the long neck keeps your hands away from steam. An oversized hanging hole makes storage easy, and the large, nonslip handle has flexible rubber fins for a comfortable grip. As are all Oxo gadgets, this utensil is dishwasher-safe.--Laurie Notaro
