Chef Craft Premium Silicone Cooking Ladle, 11.25 inch, Gray

I have to admit I was very disappointed when I got this, and I honestly thought it was a piece of junk! I mean the handle seemed sturdy enough, but actual scoop of the ladle... well I didn't figure it could even hold water, it seems so flimsy and pliable. I didn't try too hard, but it seems like it could be turned inside out... I just bought a ninja foodi, and after watching many recipes and reviews for it I learned the pot of it is extremely susceptible to scratches and only use wood or silicone utensils. I'm not a fan of silicone as I find it difficult to get the residual smells off, especially from chilli or tomato based foods, but there ain't no wooden ladles as far as I could find, so I broke down and got this. And as I said, I was not impressed... but it finally occurred to me how great a design this is! The fact that it is so flexible is a huge bonus! You know a ladle is basically a bowl on a stick, and trying to get all of the soup out is night impossible without tilting the whole pot, and then you still need enough room in the pot to lean the ladle! This one is a sinch! Just press into the pot with the scoop and it bends how you need it to! I love it! Of course, the first thing I made using it was chilli, and it still doesn't want to let go of that smell too easily... but the ladle overall is fantastic! I feels very nice, and despite the flimsiness, no, in fact, because of that, it is the best ladle I have ever seen!

I like how well it scrapes everything up! Good design.

Sturdy, can be put in the dishwasher, works just fine for everyday needs

Bought a pink ladle, the color is very vibrant -- I would say even more than the picture. Definitely not a pastel pink, but it's cute enough regardless! There is a dark spot on the inside of the ladle that does not show well on the picture, but no matter how much I scrub at it, I can't wash it off (The reason for knocking off a star). It still does the job though. I've made some pretty vivid soups with it, and it hasn't been stained yet.Do keep in mind that it is made of pure silicone, so you can expect the sturdiness to be that way too. It's not floppy, as it holds up soup pretty well, and the flexibility is also a plus if you're buying it for that. If you want a ladle that's rock solid however, don't invest in this one -- metal or wood alternatives would work great.Being rather small, the ladle handle is no longer than around nine inches. The spoon part is also not too deep, and it can't scoop up too much soup at once. However, this size makes it convenient for travel or dorm usage, so there's pros in it too. Just depends on what kind of ladle you're looking for in what kind of culinary usage. It's great if you're using it for small portions of food!

Got it to protect nonstick cookware. Works fine. It's a little more bendy than steel ladles, but that's not a problem.

I needed this to use in my small crockpot I use to warm my soup. Happy with purchase

This ladle has exceeded my expectations. I needed a smaller ladle. My other ladle was way to large for everyday use. This one is great! The size is perfect. Silicone is heat resistant, comfortable to hold, and is colorful. I almost passed on this purchase because another review said the bowl of the ladle is flexible. I did not want to bowl to collapse while ladling hot soup. I have discovered in the months of use since I bought it that the bowl of the ladle holds food and liquid securely. It is flexible when scooping up a dish so that it gets into the corner of a square baking dish or the edge of a sauce pan. Nothing gets left behind in the pot. This ladle is innovative and an advancement in kitchen tools.

This ladle will be my home brew Kombucha filling ladle. It should be non-metallic and easy to clean. I think this one is the perfect size (1/2 cup about) and also very comfortable in hand. It is also a little soft, which will make it easy when scooping out other food items, like saucy dishes from a bowl.I'm happy with this tool!

Alimentation,cuisine.

Me ha gustado mucho, la textura del silicon es suave, muy practica para servir líquidos

It scoops as expected, but it also cleans the bowl or pot right out because the edge is soft and pliable like a spatula. Also gets marks for being a pretty pink! And, it hasn't stained at all or retained odours despite being used with stews that might leave both.

This gets the bottom and sides of the pot stirred properly. It is soft and and for me is easier to use than the rigid scoops. Important to start stirring soon for liquids that thicken in the cooking.

Bought it because I really like the colour orange and knowing that I needed one so bad it works wonderful easy to clean easy to store doesn’t scratch the parts I would recommend this ladle
