Featuring a deep stainless-steel bowl and a long upright handle, this straining basket keeps noodles and other foods contained as they boil or fry. Rest its heat-safe wooden handle against the side of your pot while cooking and the mesh scoop will drain away hot oil or liquids as soon as you lift it. This Asian-style “spider basket” makes boiling pastas and deep-frying dumplings, meats or veggies easier than ever.
