Soup ladle, skimmer or serving spoon Gi.Metal AC-MS90

A dosing ladle calibrated to deliver 170 g of tomato sauce in a single measure, matching the standard quantity for a maxi pizza base. The flat stainless steel bottom glides across the dough, spreading the sauce evenly without tearing or pooling.

The ladle holds the sauce in a shallow, wide bowl that releases the measured portion in one smooth motion. Its shape prevents drips and allows the operator to control the flow, ensuring consistent coverage from edge to edge. The weight of the sauce itself helps settle it into the dough, reducing the need for additional spreading tools.

To use, the operator dips the ladle into the sauce, levels the contents with a quick shake, then pours the 170 g portion onto the centre of the pizza base. A gentle tilt and sweep distribute the sauce outward, leaving a uniform layer ready for toppings. The flat base acts as a built-in spreader, eliminating the need for a separate tool and speeding up the assembly line.

Constructed from stainless steel, the ladle resists corrosion and stands up to frequent washing. Its compact dimensions—340 mm long, 90 mm wide and 30 mm deep—allow it to fit into standard sauce containers and storage racks. The 0.17 kg weight keeps the tool light enough for extended use without strain, while still feeling substantial in the hand.

The 170 g capacity is chosen to balance sauce depth and pizza bake time: enough to flavour the base without making it soggy. The flat bottom ensures the sauce spreads to the edges without running off, which would waste product and create uneven cooking. The ladle's size and weight make it easy to handle in a busy kitchen, where speed and consistency are critical.

Cleaning is straightforward: the smooth stainless steel surface wipes clean with a cloth or brush, and the ladle is dishwasher-safe for thorough sanitisation. The absence of crevices or joints prevents sauce from drying and hardening in hard-to-reach areas, reducing the risk of cross-contamination between batches.

This ladle is a single-size tool, designed specifically for maxi pizza production. It fits standard commercial sauce containers and is compatible with most pizza assembly lines where a measured sauce portion is required.
