Winco Square Mesh Skimmer, 6.75-Inch, Medium, Nickel

I just received this skimmer today and was incredibly impressed with its quality. I purchased this skimmer to use in getting debris out of my outside, rectangular fountain reservoir. The reservoir is about 15” deep and I get leaf debris in it over a month’s time. I’ve been using a rounded kitchen sifter which is really not effective in collecting debris in, or near, the corners. This squared sifter is PERFECT, especially with its extended handle! And it is constructed to last!!❤️

It was a little longer than I expected it to be but it worked very well. Did what I needed it to do and it was easy to use.

Works well when skimming the foam off maple sap during the boiling process.

Items larger than it appears! I thought I had a pool cue delivered to the house which is weird since I don't play pool. This thing is long as a pool skimmer. I'd like something a little on the smaller end, but will make it work.

At the price I paid, it was way nicer than. I expected. Made of good material qualities and heavy duty. Much bigger than I expected.

I did a little bending and customizing and am using it for my commercial deep fryer. It keeps my battered jalapenos down under the hot oil so they come out perfect!

Affordable sturdy skimmer that I used for skimming foam off of boiling maple syrup sap. Screen is a little coarse for this application but it did the job.

Staff broke old one this is awesome replacement

If you're serious about cooking—or even just serious about not making a huge mess—you need this Winco skimmer. I bought the 6.75-inch medium size, and it has quickly become my most-used tool, replacing a couple of flimsy plastic options I used to rely on. This skimmer is clearly built for professional kitchens, and that durability shines through in home use. The nickel-plated square mesh is fantastic. It's fine enough to capture the smallest bits of scum from a simmering stock or the finest crumbs from frying batter, but it drains liquids almost instantly. There’s zero hesitation when moving from the fryer to a cooling rack. The handle is sturdy, comfortable, and, most importantly, long enough to keep your hands safely away from hot oil or boiling water. It handles heavy items like large batches of fries, tempura, or dumplings without bending or feeling weak. After weeks of heavy use, washing it in the dishwasher, and dealing with high temperatures, it looks and performs exactly as it did on day one. If you are upgrading your kitchen tools, this is a non-negotiable item. It’s affordable, functional, and will last for years. Highly recommended! Why it earned 5 Stars: Superior Drainage: The mesh is perfect for removing oil or water quickly. Professional Durability: Solid construction that feels robust and balanced. Long, Comfortable Handle: Excellent safety feature for deep frying. Versatile: Ideal for everything from blanching vegetables to skimming stock and deep frying.

Easy to clean, and works well

Great for the deep fryer.

It’s a little big than I anticipated, but it gets the job done I don’t know about rust because I haven’t had a long enough Just saying😊🇨🇦

Good to use
