Best Soup Ladles of 2025

“This Zulay Kitchen Fish Spatula has become an essential tool for me. Its functional and elegant design is perfect for flipping delicate fish fillets without breaking them. The slotted head drains excess oil, making it great for healthier cooking. I especially love how it glides smoothly on non-stick cookware without scratching. The stainless steel construction is sturdy, and the ergonomic handle fits comfortably in my hand, giving me an excellent grip even when wet. Cleanup is a breeze since it's dishwasher safe. Overall, it consistently delivers outstanding performance!”

“I really enjoy this ladle! After getting rid of my old black plastic utensils, I wanted to upgrade to stainless steel. This ladle has a good weight, a sculpted handle that fits perfectly in my hand, and a broad end with a hanging hole. It’s versatile enough for use in an elegant punch bowl. I am so pleased with this purchase and can strongly recommend it!”

“I bought this spatula because I was tired of the standard wooden handle woks where the handles get loose and fall off. I wanted something more premium and dishwasher safe. It feels great to use and has a bit of flexibility, but I do have two minor issues: first, there’s a pinhole for hanging that fills with water in the dishwasher, which dribbles over my hand while using it. Second, the spatula seems a bit thinner and hollow than I expected. Despite these points, it’s still the best spatula I’ve found on Amazon.”

"I was impressed by the unique design. The curved scoop makes it easy to fill and pour without any spills. It's perfect for my large sauce pots!"

"I love how this ladle gets everything out of the pan. The weight and feel are just right, making it ideal for my canning projects!"

"I was a bit skeptical about the shape at first, but after using it, I was pleasantly surprised! It holds the perfect amount of batter and scrapes the bowl sides well."

"I waited too long to buy this ladle, and it has proven to be better in every way. It doesn't harm my cookware, has a larger volume, and is easy to clean in the dishwasher. This is truly the best ladle made!"

"I wasn't particularly a fan of silicone utensils, but I picked this ladle to match my other kitchen tools. I'm really happy with it! It doesn't scratch my pots and has held up well in the dishwasher. The metal insert at the handle makes it sturdy and easy to use. KitchenAid has really impressed me with this product!"

"This is a kitchen classic with a silicone upgrade. It has a nice feel and weight, and it doesn't stain even with tomato sauce. The bowl is deep and flexible, making it easy to use and clean. I definitely appreciate the KitchenAid quality at such a great price!"

"I found the perfect match for my serving spoon. The size is just ideal for serving."

"I needed large serving spoons for family dinners, and after ordering four different kinds, this one turned out to be the winner. I've already ordered more because it's heavy and sturdy, perfect for the job."

"I bought the ladle as a Christmas gift for a friend, and it was exactly what he wanted for serving gravies and sauces. The quality is great, too!"

"This is by far the best ladle I have ever owned! The perfect weight and length for dishing up chili or soup! It's well-priced and of great quality!"

"I just received this ladle and I am extremely pleased. It's quality and beautiful. For those seeking quality, this is the best purchase. I highly recommend it!"

"I recently started using the Newness Soup Ladle, and it's quickly become a favorite. The integral forming design means it's sturdy. The 13.7-inch length is ideal for deep pots, though the handle is a bit rigid and lacks grip for long use."

"I bought the 4 oz ladle, and it's beautiful and heavy duty. It holds the perfect amount for serving soup—4 oz is a half cup. I can't understand the negative reviews about size; if you're unsure about what 4 or 2 oz looks like, measure it before ordering! It's a great product."

"For the price, I really wasn't expecting to receive so many ladles. This was definitely a good purchase for me!"

"This ladle is a great piece and a great value. I was surprised by how much bigger it was than I anticipated. I thought it would be more like the size of traditional silverware, but it's really more like serving ware. Still, it's a great piece, and I'll definitely use it."

“After years of using cheap plastic ladles, I finally upgraded to metal. I absolutely love this ladle—the long handle, sturdiness, and large capacity make it perfect. I even replaced all my plastic serving spoons with metal ones!”

“I've owned this ladle for about three months, and it has exceeded my expectations. It’s incredibly durable; I can scoop up heavy food without it bending. Plus, it’s easy to clean and handle. I’m pleasantly surprised and would definitely buy from this company again.”

“This ladle took a while to arrive, but I’m thrilled with it. I’ve washed it in the top rack of my dishwasher twice, and it comes out clean and shiny every time!”

“I’ve made plenty of soups and stews this winter and really appreciate the scratch-resistant material. The coaster is super convenient, and both pieces are easy to clean.”

“While I think this ladle is adorable and its quirky design adds charm to my kitchen, I did notice that it doesn’t sit in its cradle as securely as I hoped.”

“If you’re into turquoise plastic abstract whale ladles, you’re going to love this! The tripod holder keeps my countertop clean and makes the ladle easily accessible while cooking.”

“I think this is a great product. The weird shape lets me scoop from pots without spilling, and it's huge! It pours well from all sides. I also received canning tongs, which was a nice surprise. I wish I had ordered it sooner instead of spilling so much.”

“Having researched canning tools extensively, I decided to go for this one. I love that it does double duty and has measurements inside. While I feel the price is a bit steep, it's a fantastic addition to my canning supplies. A smaller version would be perfect for jams!”

“I initially bought this for canning, but I’ve ended up using it for everything! It’s been a hit at potlucks too. The size is perfect for serving soups, and I appreciate the volume markers for consistency. Just wish it felt a bit sturdier.”

"I’m truly impressed with the quality of this ladle. I’ve had mine for 20 years and just bought two more in different sizes. Both are made just as well, with a perfect angle for dipping into soup. The drip-less design makes pouring easy, and it’s sturdy and rust-proof. I now own three in different sizes, and they are all fantastic for various tasks, from filling cupcake tins to serving chili."

"This ladle is simply perfect. The angled handle makes it much more practical than other ladles I’ve used. The build quality is great, and it's the right size for almost any job. I completely agree with America's Test Kitchen that it’s one of the best ladles available."

"I decided to buy this ladle after hesitating for a while because of the price, and I’m so glad I did. The quality is outstanding, and the drip-less pour is fantastic. The rim is subtle but works perfectly. I just wish I had made this purchase sooner!"
