Soup ladle, skimmer or serving spoon HENDI 855522

A pizza sauce ladle delivers the right amount of tomato base onto pizza dough with each dip. The curved bowl scoops sauce from a deep container and spreads it evenly as the operator draws the ladle across the base, leaving a thin, uniform layer that bakes without pooling or drying out.

To use the ladle, the operator dips the bowl into the sauce, lifts it clear, and tilts it slightly to let excess sauce drain back into the container. The sauce is then poured or spread onto the pizza base in a spiral or zigzag motion, starting at the centre and working outward. The handle keeps the operator's hand clear of the sauce and the hot oven deck.

The ladle is made of stainless steel for the bowl and rim, which resists corrosion from acidic tomato sauce and withstands repeated washing. The handle is plastic, chosen for its light weight and heat resistance, so it stays cool to the touch even after prolonged contact with warm sauce.

The 330 mm length gives the operator enough reach to work over a standard pizza peel or worktop without leaning into the sauce container, reducing spills and strain on the wrist.

Cleaning follows from the materials: the stainless-steel bowl is washed in hot water with detergent, rinsed and dried to prevent water spots. The plastic handle is wiped clean with a damp cloth and never immersed in water to avoid warping or cracking over time.
