A kitchen tool that is used to remove food ingredients, excess fluid, particles, fat, and other items from the surface of foods being prepared. The Spoon is very shallow and has a wide base with numerous small holes or with a fine mesh wire for draining but not releasing the skimmed items. The mesh Skimming Spoon is most often used for skimming fat or fine particles from soups, stews or meats being prepared. It is also a good utensil to remove foam that may form on the surface of soups or jams when being cooked. A Skimming Spoon may also be referred to as a Skimming Ladle, a Skimmer, or a Strainer Spoon.
