Try something more parabollic.
PRO TIP for anybody who wants to make this: get one of these things
Well, out of curiosity, what are the space limitations you're running into?
When I strain stock, I first pick out the bones and large pieces with tongs, then fish out smaller pieces with a spider strainer. All of that goes straight in the trash, then I can strain directly into my destination vessel (through a fine strainer in a single pour.
So for a 10-quart or whatever stockpot, I really only need a foot of counter space, to hold the destination vessel. You could even put it on an inactive stove burner if you don't have that foot.
Something like this something with a woven wire scoop. You can also use metal utensils but nothing sharp on hard anodized aluminum, which I'm assuming you mean.
The slotted metal spoon for frying is called a spider. The one in the video is not really that good for frying, in my opinion.
I wish my zucchini would grow, but, alas. Stupid end-rot.
Two great ways to make zuchini - both are better if you have a mandolin
Fried Zucchini Matchsticks
These are a little bit more like dumplings, but still good
Get her a spider! It's much safer and more convenient, and there's no need to drain the pasta over the sink. You put a colander over a large mixing bowl and use the spider to scoop the noodles out of the water and into the colander. Deal with the water later when it's cool.
Thanks for the contest.
This would be super helpful.
Thank you for the contest lovie

Once upon a time, there was a girl who spent all her days in the kitchen. She once noticed a tiny little spider hanging out in the corner of the room. She called the spider Deputydawg and made it her pet. Every day for years, she found tiny little flies and fed the spider so it began to trust her.
One day, she was cooking and she looked up to see Deputydawg spinning a web. She smiled as he weaved up and down...but then...
He fell.
He fell into her cooking pot.
She gasped and panicked. Then suddenly she remembered that she had bought a tool perfect for such rescue operations and she managed to put little Deputydawg on the side to dry.
As he dried and thought of his ordeal, he noticed that the pot was boiling over and the sauce that the little girl was making had gone lumpy. He spun his little web onto a tool he knew would help her this time. and she picked it up and was able to stir the sauce back.
They had both had a lucky escape. Deputydawg was grateful that he hadn't fallen down that morning when pancakes and bacon were being fried.
The End.
I've had no problems since I started to do the same thing, directly from the cold fridge (I don't let it sit out for more than a minute) into boiling water. I lower them into the water with a spider. When the eggs are cooked, I use the spider to pull out the eggs and place in a bowl filled to the brim with ice, which I then cover with water after putting all the eggs in. I then stir the ice bath around and let it sitfor 15 minutes.
Right. I make my own luck :)

I use one of these, and I've got the fry daddy.
