For the best looking and best tasting stocks, broths and soups, skimming away impurities is a necessary step. A fine mesh skimmer, particularly a smaller sized one, is just the tool for the job. Made of stainless steel and with a mesh fine enough to gather foam, fine particles and other little bits, this skimmer is indispensable for this task.
Overall, I have had this skimmer in my kit for years, and have used it thousands of times for skimming stocks. Remarkable for its lightweight, it's held up to heavy use and washings.
