Sur La Table Beechwood Straining Spoon

A beechwood straining spoon is designed to scoop foods up while letting liquid drain away. Use it to lift pasta, vegetables and other boiled or simmered ingredients straight from the pot with less dripping than a solid spoon.

The holes along the side allow water to escape as you lift, so you can drain quickly without switching tools. It is especially handy when moving food from boiling water to a serving bowl or pan.

Plan to hand-wash the beechwood straining spoon after use. Rinse, wash with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly before putting it away.

It is made from durable beechwood and is described as resistant to warping. For best results, avoid leaving it soaking for long periods and dry it well after hand washing.

Try it for lifting blanched vegetables, scooping poached items from hot liquid or serving juicy vegetables while leaving extra liquid behind. It is a practical choice when you want a little draining built into the scoop.
