For long time I used to think about crappy ladles and why steel ones in decent shapes not available in US stores. The kind that I had in India would last lifetime. Finally I found these kind of things in webstaurant store. Seems this kind of stuff is readily available in catering/ restaurant supply stores. Things mainstream stores sell is all inspired from Tv, media celebrity cooking etc. This stuff is more fragile but supposedly fancy looking. I now have stuff more practical, reliable and all steel (or at least part that touch food) from catering stores.
- quickthrowman 2y agoYou can buy a good ladle in a US retail store, you just have to pay $30+ for it: https://www.crateandbarrel.com/crate-and-barrel-stainless-steel-ladle/s406817 https://www.crateandbarrel.com/crate-and-barrel-stainless-st... For something that should last forever, $30 isn’t too bad. It’s basically impossible to get a quality product at a Target or Walmart type store.
- datadrivenangel 2y agoCrate and Barrel is decidedly for the market segment of "more money than ability to discern quality and wants social status". The last time I went into one, they had $70 ice bucket tongs that looked amazing but had no teeth, which totally defeat the point of ice tongs.
