تعريف ومعنى "slotted spoon"

What is a "slotted spoon"?

A slotted spoon is a kitchen utensil with a bowl-shaped head containing holes or slots, allowing liquids to drain away while solids are retained. It typically consists of a handle attached to a hole-filled or slotted spoon head, which can be made of metal, plastic, or silicone. Slotted spoons are commonly used for tasks such as retrieving vegetables or pasta from boiling water, lifting fried foods out of oil, or serving foods from liquid-based dishes while leaving excess liquid behind.
