FAQs

Can I use this for deep-frying?

Yes, it is specifically designed to withstand high temperatures and is ideal for lifting fried foods out of hot oil.

Is the handle heatproof?

The long, round stainless steel handle is designed to keep your hands away from heat, but it can get hot if left resting on the edge of a pot. Always use a tool rest or hang the strainer when not in use.

Does it rust over time?

The Buckingham Spider Strainer is made from high-quality stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust. Proper drying after each wash will ensure it stays in top condition.

Is it safe to put in the dishwasher?

Yes, it is dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the polished finish over the long term.

What is the diameter of the strainer?

The strainer features a wide, circular bowl designed for efficient scooping, suitable for standard household cooking vessels.

Troubleshooting

Food particles stuck in the mesh

Soak the head of the strainer in warm, soapy water for 10 minutes, then use a soft-bristled nylon brush to gently dislodge the trapped items.

Surface spots after dishwasher use

Wipe the surface with a small amount of white vinegar and a dry cloth to restore the shine and remove mineral deposits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no setup required for this tool; it is ready to use immediately upon unboxing. It is compatible with most standard stock pots, deep fryers, and woks. To maintain the life of the stainless steel, it is recommended to wash the strainer soon after use to prevent stubborn starch or oil residue from building up. While it is dishwasher safe, hand washing with mild soap and a soft brush is the best way to maintain the polished finish. Ensure the strainer is completely dry before hanging it or placing it in a storage drawer to prevent water spots.
