Know before you buy
The 18/8 rating refers to the composition of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This specific alloy is highly resistant to rust, corrosion, and staining, making it an ideal, long-lasting choice for kitchen tools that frequently come into contact with acidic liquids like tomato-based sauces.
Yes, the handle is designed to stay cool to the touch during normal stovetop service. However, like any all-metal utensil, you should avoid leaving it resting inside a pot directly over a high flame for an extended period.
Absolutely. Because there are no crevices or joints where the bowl meets the handle, food particles and bacteria cannot get trapped. This makes the ladle much more hygienic and significantly easier to wipe clean.
Yes, this ladle is completely dishwasher safe. Its high-quality stainless steel construction is designed to withstand repeated cycles without losing its mirror-polished finish.
The total length of the ladle is 13 inches. This provides enough reach for deep stockpots while remaining compact enough to store easily in a standard kitchen drawer or on a hanging rack.
