I found my overall experience with this spider to be less than so-so. I ended up tossing it in the recycling bin. Why, you might ask? Well here are the reasons:1. Nickel plated? That's fine for my pocket change, but I'm not sure I want that in my cooking utensils. Why the heck are they allowing this toxic (albeit in varying degrees) for cooking purposes?!2. It's not solid stainless steel.3. The edges are kind of jagged and rough. Those with softer skin may find issue with this.4. It rusts!!For your health, pass on the Typhoon and find a better quality skimmer.
