The Vollrath 47719 Wire Mesh Skimmer is a cornerstone tool for professional kitchens, designed to handle the demands of high-volume frying stations. Crafted from heavy-duty 18-gauge stainless steel, this one-piece skimmer is built to withstand extreme temperatures while ensuring hygiene with a seamless, bacteria-resistant design. Its 9 2/3" wire mesh blade efficiently drains excess oil from fried foods, making it ideal for small vats, while the satin-finished 17 2/3" handle with a center-reinforcing rib minimizes heat transfer and provides superior grip—even when wet. The hooked edge allows for secure storage on pot rims, saving counter space during service. Restaurant operators, fry cooks, and commercial chefs rely on this skimmer for its durability, ease of cleaning, and performance in fast-paced environments. Whether for deep-frying, pan-frying, or oil management, the Vollrath 47719 delivers precision and efficiency every time. Invest in a skimmer that meets the rigorous standards of commercial kitchens and elevates your frying process.
