18" Nickle-Plated Mesh Skimmer - 0186 This nickle-plated mesh skimmer is the smallest skimmer we carry and is about the size of a woman’s hand. The Bayou Classic Small Mesh Skimmer is a handy accessory when Cajun cooking, especially when you are boiling or frying. The small mesh skimmer has a 7 inch face... perfect for use with a 10 quart dutch oven or deep fryer. With the small mesh skimmer, you can remove hot food from oil or boiling water with ease. The small mesh skimmer is used to remove mid-sized debris from used oil. There is an eye at the top of the handle for easy keep or hanging.
