When creating concoctions such as soups stocks and broths there are often ingredients used to season the batch that aren"t necessarily meant to be served in the final product. To remove these food particles from the mixture a skimmer is all that"s needed. Royal Industries offers an excellent option in its 5” stainless steel scroll skimmer (ROY SKIM SC 5). This skimmer is excellent at straining foods that have not properly processed during cooking such as small chunks of tomato from tomato soup.
