Can the Strainer (Fine Mesh #2606) be Used for Deep Frying?

[wickednoodle]

Does anyone know if this can be used to pull foods from a deep fryer?

THANKS!!

I think that's a question for the test kitchens. What temperature does it say the item is safe to in the use and care? What temperature is the oil?

You could also ask about the skimmer, it may fit easier into what ever pan you are frying in. I would still ask about the heat/oil resistance of the material.

ETA, (although it reminds me of Estimated Time of Arrival every time I see it!) DH uses the chef's tongs when he fries. That's usually fish, shrimp or chicken. Probably wouldn't work very well for french fries or other things like that.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm actually asking on behalf of a customer who is specifically interested in the piece. I don't have time to call the Test Kitchen (who seem to take their time in calling back, and a few times not at all) so I thought perhaps someone had this info from using it personally.

Thanks for the help, though!

Look at the PIG on CC, it may list the tempurature resistance of the plastic.

I checked there first and it doesn't indicate anything regarding temperature, etc.
