Definition & Bedeutung von "spider"

What is a "spider"?

A spider is a kitchen utensil used for frying, skimming, or retrieving foods from hot liquids or oil. It typically consists of a flat, wide wire mesh basket, that looks like a spider's web, attached to a long handle. The wire mesh allows liquids to drain away while retaining solid foods such as fried foods, blanched vegetables, or poached eggs. Spiders are commonly used in Asian cuisines for tasks such as deep-frying tempura, parboiling noodles, or removing foods from boiling water or oil. They are valued for their versatility and efficiency in handling hot and delicate foods, providing a safe and convenient way to cook and serve items without splashing or sticking.

What is "Spider"?

Spider is a popular single-player card game that uses two standard decks of 52 cards, making a total of 104 cards. The goal is to arrange all the cards in descending order from King to Ace, for each suit, to clear the table. The game is played on a layout with ten piles of cards, with the first four piles having six cards and the remaining six having five cards. Players can move cards between piles, and the game allows for stacking cards in descending order, but only if the cards are of the same suit. When all cards in a pile are arranged from King to Ace, they are removed from the game. The game ends when all cards are placed in the foundation piles in the correct order or no more moves are possible. Spider is a challenging game that requires patience and strategic planning.
