The Curated Take
4.7/5
The All-Clad Large Soup Ladle, crafted from high-quality stainless steel, is an excellent tool for home chefs and culinary enthusiasts. Ideal for serving soups and other hot liquids, its large bowl can handle up to four ounces at a time, making it both efficient and practical. The ladle is easy to clean and dishwasher safe, ensuring longevity and hygiene. However, the stainless steel handle can retain heat, potentially causing discomfort, and its design may feel slightly awkward to grip. Despite these minor drawbacks, the ladle's durability and functionality make it a valuable addition to any kitchen.

Expert Reviews of the All-Clad Large Soup Ladle
Grace Vogel I highly recommend this large ladle for those seeking an all-purpose ladle for their kitchen. The large ladle bowl makes it easy to use when serving considerable quantities of soup and smaller amounts of hot liquids.
The ladle is machine washable, which makes for an easy clean-up. My main critique is the handle. The handle and body are made of the same stainless steel, meaning if I leave the ladle in a pot of soup or other hot material, the handle will retain that heat. The handle is also not designed at an angle, making it a slightly awkward handle to grip. Aside from these small handle issues, this ladle is durable and would make a great addition to someone's kitchen.

Heat Resistance
4/5
Grace Vogel gave 4 of 5 stars. My main complaint is that the entire ladle is composed of stainless steel, so it heats up easily and will stay hot for a long period of time. It is great if someone uses it to serve a hot beverage or soup, but it can become an issue if they accidentally touch it while it's still hot.
Handle Quality

Grace Vogel gave 4 of 5 stars. Because the handle is composed of stainless steel, it can easily retain heat. I prefer a silicone grip on the handle. The handle would be better if it were bent at a slight angle. Instead, it maintains the angle of the entire stem of the ladle.
