Why Choose a Stainless Steel Jhara

Plastic and nylon skimmers can melt, warp, or stain when used with hot oil. A stainless steel jhara handles high-heat frying without any problem, doesn't absorb smells or colors, and rinses clean in seconds. The perforated design also does more than a plain spoon can: it lets you lift fried snacks out of hot oil with the excess dripping straight back into the karahi, skim foam and impurities off boiling stock and daal, and scoop boiled eggs, dumplings, or noodles out of water without carrying the liquid with them.

Perfect For:

Deep frying pakoras, samosas, and fries, lifting boiled eggs and noodles, skimming foam from stock and daal, blanching vegetables, and draining anything cooked in liquid.

Care Instructions:

Wash with warm water and mild soap after use. Use a soft brush to clear food from the holes. Dry thoroughly before hanging or storing.
