I have plenty of slotted spoons but a slotted ladle is a new one for me.
I got this one at our beloved local cookware store, Shackford’s, here in Napa. It really is one of our favorite places in town and it’s within walking distance of Rancho Gordo. In fact, if you’re coming to Napa and gave had your fill of wine, consider Rancho Gordo, Shackfords and Fatted Calf (and the entire Oxbow Market) as part of your itinerary.
As Bean People, I find this tool wildly useful.
Totally get it…the excitement of a new utensil. That slotted ladle is gorgeous. I love my shoes but show me a new pot or skillet or serving spoon or beautiful wooden spoon and I want it. When you cook or serve w lovely pieces the food is just more glorious.
I can’t see myself getting to Napa anytime soon, but I was able to find a nice RSVP brand “Endurance” 18/8 Stainless Steel Straining Ladle on Amazon for less than $9.00.
