Norpro Stainless Steel Canning Ladle

It shouldn't be so hard to find a stainless steel ladle with a decent sized, not too shallow scoop, but surprisingly it is. I chose this one because it has zero plastic anywhere, it's 100% stainless steel, it has a hanging hole on the handle, and also, because it has indents on both sides to make a clean pour whether you are using the left hand OR the right hand, very clever feature. It's marketed as a canning ladle, but I use it for soups and sauces for now. Things like home cooked beans, marinara sauce, chili, etc. So far so good. I am able to put the scoop upside down at the edge of the pot, and lean the handle on the counter, and it stays, and does not drip anywhere, so that's an easy way to use it without having to dirty a spoon rest, etc.

I love this ambidextrous canning ladle so much! Especially since I am a Southpaw. Canning with my regular ladle was difficult as it had no pour spout like this one. it got a little messy even though i have the perfect wide mouth and regular mouth stainless funnels. this is going to be such an improvement and I have been canning tons of chunky soups and stuff with meat and veggies. This is not a cheaply made, thin stainless. It is a HEAVY DUTY durable good. I even reviewed it on Facebook I liked it so much.

Love it for canning and just using for soups

I like the soup ladel I ordered it was what I expected fast delivery I liked the way it was packed I'm well satisfied with the customer service..

Perfect. Good quality. Excellent for canning but also handy for soups and sauces.

The ladle meets my needs. It is very easy to use. It is sturdy stainless steel.

If you do any canning at all, this ladle is an absolute necessity. Ive gone for years struggling to fill jars of hot jam, pickles, etc. Now I can reach to the bottom of the pot to pull out a nice cross sampling of the mixture instead of just skimming off the top. Nice long handle that is very sturdy. This ladle is large so it wont fit in your utensil drawer so I store mine with the canning supplies. I highly recommend this ladle.

Simple alternative to an electric hot water pot for me. Boiling water on the stove and easily filling my cup multiple times a day, makes life much simpler. It is well made, sturdy and well formed. I especially like the pouring spouts. Great addition to my kitchen.

Purchased for canning. I really like that it has a pour spout on both sides. It holds a good amount of product in one scoop. It worked very well for canning tomato sauce. I especially wanted a stainless steel ladle and one that could be washed in the dishwasher. I have already run it through the dishwasher once, and it came out looking just fine; no tarnishing.

I purchased this because I do a lot of canning and am left-handed. The size and shape work well for less viscous goods like jelly, but did not work great for thicker, more viscous goods like apple butter. The one improvement I would like to see is some sort of insulation on the handle as it gets very hot after prolonged use.
