Tenta Kitchen Professional Large Stainless Steel Serving Ladle Spoon - Gravy Ladle Soup Spoon For School Canteen,Hotel Kitchen,Restaurant (3.86"x17")

Works for what I need in deep soup pot.

I needed something to skim the fat from the top of my casseroles. My ladle is too deep and not very wide. I will still keep my ladle for plunging into my slow cooker. In my opinion this is more of a serving spoon.

It works well as a wok ladle it is big enough for multiple servings of fried rice and well built, you would be hard-pressed to break this ladle. You would probably need to run it over with a car to break it.

Nice spoon

Most ladles have the handle coming straight up from the bowl of the ladle. This means you are always directly in front of the product you are scooping; which keeps you in the splatter and spill zone. From canning experience I know that a hot splatter of soup can cause you to jerk and dump the remaining ladle full of soup on yourself. The Tenta Ladle has the handle set at an angle from the bowl ! This keeps you out of the splatter zone and is SO much more comfortable to use. You don't need to ladle posed like a praying mantis anymore LOL ! The description states "gravy ladle", but this is a Full Size kitchen ladle, very sturdy and well made.

Sturdy...would buy again

After about 1 years of use, soup has started leaking into the handle. I can feel the warmth of the soup inside the handle every time I cook. The leak is clearly visible to the naked eye and seems to be coming from somewhere near the welded area.

It's like a golf putter, really long and takes up a lot of drawer space. It's well made and scoops soups nicely, but unless it's a big, deep pot that you serve many people from, get a smaller one.
