I think you can find them at Daiso in the Eastridge Mall. The question is, where do you put that scum that you've scooped off. Hopefully not down the drain!

Thanks Nate. Near the stove, I keep a bowl or cup for the scum/fat. Then yep, it goes down the drain!

That is brilliant. Thanks for the discovery. I do the same -- in a can then in the freezer then in a garbage bag.

Scum can go down the drain, and so can a bit of fat -- followed by a long rush of hot water to flush things through. If there is a lot of fat, then I discard it in a plastic bag or other container.

I got mine at plain old Sur la Table. I bet most any serious cookware store has them, these days (though at probably twice the price of an Asian cookware store). My stocks and broths have never been...

Just got one over the weekend, and I just love it! Works so well. I got mine at the 99 Ranch market for about $2. From the packaging instructions I believe they actually made it to strain particles...
