If you store newspapers in your oven, skip this tool. This is a tool for people who cook...make soups and sauces and real food.
Have you ever wanted to scoop out a few extra meat balls and leave the sauce behind? Have you prepared a soup and want to take
only the bones and excess veggies from the pot? Have you par boiled and wanted to remove the foods without the water?
Here's your tool. (Some in our kitchen say that it is designed for a left-handed person, but others have no problem.)

Great ladle, strong, heavy will last forever, however, its capacity is huge 6.5 oz. so unless you are doing a lot of canning or cooking for a large group, it is probably overkill... also, the flat handle may have been able to have been designed better, due to the weight, it cuts into the sides of the fingers a little... it really needs some type of flexable soft grip on the handle... if you were going to use it for serving a large crowd that filed by in a line... you would need to wrap something around it... also, the angle of the picture does not give you the right image of the actual dimensions, it is more oval than the picture seems to show... however, great product... won't fall apart... but definitely not the ladle for a small pot holding just a few bowls of soup.

The ladle holds 8 oz. of liquid, not counting solids which may extend above the liquid level; 8 oz. is the maximum "walking to the table" capacity, without spilling, of our soup bowls and more than the typical 4 to 6 oz. kitchen ladle; easy for you or your guests to quickly manage the desired proportions of liquids and solids in each serving; I purchased three more of these ladles as gifts.

If you're running a soup kitchen or need a ladle for one, and don't mind making your workers using a very heavy ladel, and don't mind this having a crude look with a poor polish and ugly defects, this is the ladle for you.

I have not had it long but it washes up well
It is quite large and it is an effective straining ladle.
I recommend this ladle for your soups, pasta, etc.

This is a good quality, heavy, stainless steel ladle. Actually, a bit heavy for my liking. Nice to have the strainer on one side, which I use a lot. The only drawback for me is I am left handed and this ladle is for right handed people and akward to use for 'lefties'. However, I manage, and it is a good, strong ladle and will no doubt last a lifetime.

I stumbled upon this product while looking for a good ladle which would be useful during soup/stock cooking it's really very good and sturdy, actually need to do more recipes which could bring it into use, its that good :) You do still need a table side/serving ladle and a gravy spoon, etc.

This is an amazing soup ladle with a great design that allows me to use it to pour soup and also separate liquid from non liquid. whoever came up with this product idea is a very smart and I hope they patented it! highly recommended.

very hard to find this ladle and in stainless that was good ,fine product ,prompt shipping thank you ,now I can strain the grease off my home made ,Ox Tail -vegetable soup,
thank you

WOW...Been searching for this piece for awhile. This is exactly what the picture shows... unlike others found here on Amazon. Nicely weighted and perfect for canning... and everyday use as well. You won't be disappointed... I know I wasn't.
