The SSL070 is a 210ml stainless steel ladle used for portioning soups, sauces, and liquid-based dishes in commercial kitchens. The fixed bowl volume supports consistent serving sizes across high-volume service periods. Operators use it in restaurant kitchens, hotel banqueting, and catering production lines where portion control affects cost management.
Commercial Application
Commercial kitchens require repeatable portion delivery during service. A fixed-volume ladle removes guesswork from soup and sauce dispensing. Kitchen staff maintain consistency across hundreds of portions without scales or measuring jugs.
The ladle operates during plated service and buffet replenishment. Staff transfer 210ml portions from stockpots or bain-marie inserts to service vessels or direct to plate. The hooked handle allows hanging storage on pot rails between use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What stainless steel grade is the SSL070 ladle?
A: The ladle uses food-grade stainless steel meeting commercial kitchen standards. Zodex typically employs 18/0 or 18/8 stainless formulations for utensil production. Confirm specific grade requirements with TurcoBazaar before large orders.
Q: Can the ladle handle high-temperature stockpots?
A: Stainless steel resists thermal degradation up to typical boiling temperatures. The long handle maintains operator distance from heat sources. Allow cooling before dishwasher loading to prevent thermal shock to other utensils.
Q: Does the 210ml capacity include rim volume?
A: The 210ml specification represents total bowl capacity to the rim. Practical working volume during service is approximately 180–190ml to prevent spillage. Staff training should account for fill level during plating.
Q: Is the hooked handle compatible with standard pot rails?
A: The hook diameter fits 12mm commercial pot rails common in UK and European kitchens. Verify rail diameter if using North American or custom racking systems.
Q: What cleaning method is recommended for commercial dishwashers?
A: The ladle tolerates standard commercial dishwasher cycles at 60–82°C. Load with handle down to ensure bowl drainage. Stainless steel finish resists alkaline detergent staining.
