How should I use this sauce ladle?
• Scoop your pizza sauce into the ladle (up to ~6 oz).
• Place the ladle close to the dough’s center, then use a gentle sweeping motion sliding outward to spread sauce.
• Because of the flat bottom, it helps prevent pooling—aim for an even, thin layer.
• Rinse or wipe frequently during use if sauce starts to build up on edges to maintain clean spreading.
How do I clean and maintain the ladle?
• Wash with warm, soapy water. Stainless steel resists staining if cleaned promptly.
• Rinse and dry thoroughly to prevent water spots or corrosion.
• Avoid harsh abrasives or steel wool that could scratch the surface.
• Since it’s a single stainless steel piece (no coatings), maintenance is minimal.
What are advantages and limitations?
Advantages:
• Flat bottom design supports precise, consistent sauce distribution
• Decent volume capacity (6 oz) for pizza operations
• Durable stainless steel build
• Long handle gives reach without hand exposure
Limitations:
• As a ladle designed for sauce, it’s not ideal for heavy or chunky toppings
• It doesn’t self-level—technique matters for uniform spread
• If sauce dries on it, it may require more effort to clean
