What are Ladles Used for?

Ladles and spoons come in various designs and styles, making them more suitable for different situations.

A pasta ladle is best used to serve food cooked in liquid but eaten without it. A pasta ladle often has teeth that make it easy to pick up the pasta and allows water to drain off. A pasta ladle often has holes in the scoop which also allows water to drain out.

Unlike a pasta ladle, a sauce ladle does not have holes or teeth on the scoop. This makes it easy to scoop up the sauce, preventing the sauce from running out. A sauce ladle can also often have an opening on the side of the scoop, which makes it easy to control how the sauce is placed on the plate.

A soup ladle often has a handle that is more vertical to the scoop compared to, for example, a pasta ladle. The scoop is also often more rounded and not infrequently deeper than a pasta ladle or sauce ladle. The shape makes it easy to submerge it below the surface without the handle being an obstacle, and the depth of the scoop makes it easy to pick up larger amounts of soup.

Wooden Ladles and Spoons

Ladles come in different materials that work well for different situations. A popular choice is a wooden ladle or wooden spoon. They are often decorative and can be used in most pans thanks to their soft material. However, a wooden ladle or wooden spoon should not be washed in the dishwasher, to ensure a long life for the utensils.
