Reddit mentions of Helen Chen’s Asian Kitchen Stainless Steel Spider Strainer with Natural Bamboo Handle, 5-Inch Strainer Basket

To save others the horror of googling "pasta spider," I think it's this

Try something more parabollic.

PRO TIP for anybody who wants to make this: get one of these things

Well, out of curiosity, what are the space limitations you're running into?

When I strain stock, I first pick out the bones and large pieces with tongs, then fish out smaller pieces with a spider strainer. All of that goes straight in the trash, then I can strain directly into my destination vessel (through a fine strainer in a single pour.

So for a 10-quart or whatever stockpot, I really only need a foot of counter space, to hold the destination vessel. You could even put it on an inactive stove burner if you don't have that foot.

Something like this something with a woven wire scoop. You can also use metal utensils but nothing sharp on hard anodized aluminum, which I'm assuming you mean.

The slotted metal spoon for frying is called a spider. The one in the video is not really that good for frying, in my opinion.

I wish my zucchini would grow, but, alas. Stupid end-rot.

Two great ways to make zuchini - both are better if you have a mandolin

Fried Zucchini Matchsticks

• using the 1/8" x 1/8" setting on the mandolin, cut the zucchini into matchsticks.
  
• heat up a frying pan with canola oil in it to a decently high temp
  
• put the zucchini into a plastic bag along with a tablespoon of flour - just enough to coat the surfaces. You might need more/less flour depending on your reality.
  
• Put small handful of the flour coated zucchini into the oil - don't put too much, less is better than more, since it won't decrease the temp as much. When it looks slightly brown, remove using a spider and put into a paper towel lined bowl.
  
• Add a small amount of garlic salt to each batch, or a bunch at the end. The flavor will get absorbed better when you do it earlier, etc.
  
• Serve.
  
  These are a little bit more like dumplings, but still good
  
  
• using the 1/8" x 1/8" setting on the mandolin, cut the zucchini into matchsticks.
  
• If you had, say, 3 or 4 1" diameter x 4" zucchinis, matchstick 1 1.5" diameter onion, as well.
  
• Mix up the onions and zucchini's
  
• crack an egg into a bowl and mix with fork
  
• add 1tsp salt, 2 tbsp pepper, 1 tsp red pepper flakes (or less to taste). Add 1 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp cumin if you're feeling saucy.
  
• Mix well and add the zucchini & onions to the mix. Then add a few tablespoons of flour. This should end up more pasty than the first bunch.
  
• Put about 1/4" of oil in a pan. You could do more. It's up to you. Heat up until it's nice and warm.
  
• Scoop out a ball of the mixture and put it into the pan. Let it cook for awhile, until it's nice and brown, then flip, and cook the other side until it's nice and brown
  
• Remove and maybe salt some more. Or maybe some garlic salt. Or, whatever turns you on.

Get her a spider! It's much safer and more convenient, and there's no need to drain the pasta over the sink. You put a colander over a large mixing bowl and use the spider to scoop the noodles out of the water and into the colander. Deal with the water later when it's cool.

Thanks for the contest.
This would be super helpful.

1. I like my family, my raoa family,singing, dancing and Scooby Doo
   
   
2. This would make doing more home booking easier since chicken nuggets only likes chicken nuggets
   
   
3. I'd like to win since I feel guilty buying things for myself

do you have any Asian grocery stores? i always see them there. Also 5.99 on Amazon

Once upon a time, there was a girl who spent all her days in the kitchen. She once noticed a tiny little spider hanging out in the corner of the room. She called the spider Deputydawg and made it her pet. Every day for years, she found tiny little flies and fed the spider so it began to trust her.

One day, she was cooking and she looked up to see Deputydawg spinning a web. She smiled as he weaved up and down...but then...

He fell.

He fell into her cooking pot.

She gasped and panicked. Then suddenly she remembered that she had bought a tool perfect for such rescue operations and she managed to put little Deputydawg on the side to dry.

As he dried and thought of his ordeal, he noticed that the pot was boiling over and the sauce that the little girl was making had gone lumpy. He spun his little web onto a tool he knew would help her this time. and she picked it up and was able to stir the sauce back.

They had both had a lucky escape. Deputydawg was grateful that he hadn't fallen down that morning when pancakes and bacon were being fried.

 

The End.

I've had no problems since I started to do the same thing, directly from the cold fridge (I don't let it sit out for more than a minute) into boiling water. I lower them into the water with a spider. When the eggs are cooked, I use the spider to pull out the eggs and place in a bowl filled to the brim with ice, which I then cover with water after putting all the eggs in. I then stir the ice bath around and let it sitfor 15 minutes.

Right. I make my own luck :)

I use one of these, and I've got the fry daddy.
