LADLES Meaning and
Definition
-
Ladles are utensils or tools that are used for serving or transferring liquids or semi-liquid food items. Specifically designed for scooping and pouring, ladles typically have a long handle joined to a deep, rounded bowl-like container. The bowl shape enables easy collection of liquids, while the long handle allows for better control and safe handling.
Ladles are commonly made of materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, or heat-resistant plastic, ensuring their durability and resistance to high temperatures. They are available in various sizes, ranging from small ones meant for individual servings to larger ones used in industrial kitchens or for serving at large gatherings.
The use of ladles is not limited to any specific cuisine but is found across cultural and regional cooking traditions. They are especially useful for serving soups, stews, sauces, gravies, or any liquid-based dishes. Additionally, they are also employed in the preparation of certain recipes like batters, hot beverages, or even serving punch at social events.
Due to their functionality and convenience, ladles have become an essential tool in kitchen equipment sets, alongside other utensils such as knives, spoons, and spatulas. They play a significant role in the efficient and precise serving of foods, allowing for controlled distribution, reducing spills or messes, and ensuring equal portions.

Etymology of LADLES
The word ladles primarily comes from the Middle English word ladell, which was derived from the Old English word hlædel. The Old English hlædel meant a utensil used for dipping, pouring, or serving liquid. It was a combination of the word hlaed (meaning to load or to heap) and the suffix -el (denoting a tool or implement). Over time, hlædel evolved into ladell and eventually became ladle in Modern English. Ladles is simply the plural form of ladle.
