Ask a Question About This Product
This 27.5cm ladle serves high-volume soup, sauce, and stock portioning in commercial kitchens. 18/10 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance during repeated immersion in hot liquids and acidic preparations. Used by line cooks, prep staff, and catering teams for consistent portion control.
Commercial Application
Ladles in commercial operations handle liquid transfer from stock pots to service containers, batch sauce portioning, and soup service during high-turnover periods. A 27.5cm handle length keeps hands clear of steam and heat sources during deep-pot access.
During service, staff use ladles for plating sauces, transferring reductions, and portioning soups at pass stations. The bowl capacity and handle length determine speed during multi-cover service windows.
Key Operational Advantages
- 18/10 stainless steel (18% chromium, 10% nickel) resists corrosion from acidic sauces and repeated dishwasher cycles
- 27.5cm handle length provides reach into 30-40 litre stock pots without hand contact with hot liquid
- Thickness between 3-7mm across bowl and handle reduces flexing under load during repeated portioning
- Non-porous steel surface meets commercial food contact hygiene standards for UK, EU, USA, and Canada
- Mirror finish shows surface contamination clearly during visual hygiene checks between service periods

Construction & Build Quality
The ladle uses 18/10 grade stainless steel throughout, with nickel content providing rust resistance during prolonged contact with stock bases and tomato sauces. Extra-weight construction resists bending during high-volume portioning. One-piece bowl-to-handle joint eliminates bacteria traps at seams.
- 18/10 grade steel specification: 18% chromium for oxidation resistance, 10% nickel for acid corrosion protection
- Extra-weight construction: 3-7mm thickness across working surfaces resists deformation under repeated use
- One-piece bowl-handle junction eliminates crevice points where food debris accumulates

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What steel grade is used in this ladle?
A: 18/10 stainless steel: 18% chromium, 10% nickel. This grade provides higher corrosion resistance than 18/0 steel when exposed to acidic preparations and repeated high-temperature washing.
Q: What bowl capacity does a 27.5cm ladle provide?
A: Bowl capacity typically ranges 150-200ml depending on bowl depth. Suitable for single-portion soup service and sauce plating. Not specified by manufacturer for this model.
Q: Can this ladle withstand commercial dishwasher cycles?
A: Yes. 18/10 stainless steel tolerates alkaline detergents and high-temperature rinse cycles in commercial rack dishwashers. Mirror finish may dull slightly over extended use but does not affect hygiene compliance.
Q: Is the handle heat-resistant during prolonged pot immersion?
A: Stainless steel conducts heat. Handle will reach high temperatures during extended contact with boiling liquids. Use dry service cloths or heat-resistant grips when working with stock pots above 80°C.
Q: Does this ladle meet UK and EU food contact regulations?
A: CE certified for commercial kitchen use. 18/10 stainless steel meets food contact material standards for UK, EU (EC 1935/2004), USA (NSF), and Canada (CSA). Non-porous surface complies with HACCP hygiene protocols.
