Soup ladle, skimmer or serving spoon Stalgast 420012

A perforated serving spoon lifts food from boiling water, hot oil or sauce while letting the liquid drain through its holes. The food stays on the spoon and the liquid falls back into the pan, so portions come out dry and ready to plate. This method works for pasta, vegetables, dumplings and fried items that must not carry excess water or fat to the customer's dish.

The operator lowers the spoon into the pan, scoops the food and lifts it clear. The holes let the liquid run off quickly, so the food does not sit in a pool and cool. Once the liquid has drained, the food is transferred to the plate or serving dish. The same motion is repeated for each portion, keeping the workflow steady and the food at serving temperature.

The Stalgast perforated serving spoon is formed from a single piece of 18/10 stainless steel without welds or joints. This monoblock construction gives a smooth, seamless surface that resists corrosion and wear. The 2.7 mm thick handle is shaped for a secure grip, even when the spoon is wet or greasy. The entire utensil is polished to a mirror finish, which repels food particles and makes cleaning faster.

The 310 mm length keeps the operator's hand clear of the pan rim and the heat source. The spoon fits comfortably in standard utensil drawers and cupboards, and its weight is light enough for continuous use without fatigue. The material is dishwasher-safe, so it can be cleaned alongside other stainless-steel tools at the end of service.

Cleaning is limited to the parts the entry names: the seamless stainless-steel body and the polished surface. Food residue is rinsed off under running water, and the spoon is then washed in hot soapy water or placed in the dishwasher. The absence of welds or joints means there are no crevices where bacteria can collect, so hygiene is maintained even after repeated use.

The catalogue places this item among professional serving utensils for hot and cold food service.
