blancher
Brief-boil kitchen tool
A blancher is a person or device that blanches—briefly scalding food in boiling water, then plunging it into ice water.
In commercial food processing, blanchers are industrial machines that prepare vegetables for freezing or canning by deactivating enzymes that cause spoilage: The blancher processes two tons of green beans per hour.
