Ladle portion guide

Consistent portioning is one of the fastest ways to control food cost. A fixed-capacity ladle takes the guesswork out of service – this 177ml (6oz) ladle is the standard size for soups and stews. Common ladle capacities and their typical uses:

Capacity	Typical use
60ml (2oz)	Sauces, gravies and dressings
120ml (4oz)	Portion sauces, thin soups, batters
177ml (6oz)	Soups, stews and casseroles (this ladle)
240ml (8oz)	Bulk service, punch bowls and transfer work

Care and cleaning

One-piece stainless construction with no spot welds to trap food – simply run it through the dishwasher. The hooked handle end hangs on pot rails and bain marie edges so the ladle stays out of the product between services.

Frequently asked questions

How many portions does a 6oz ladle serve per litre?

At 177ml per level scoop, one litre of soup or stew yields roughly 5–6 portions. That predictability is what makes a fixed-capacity ladle the fastest costing tool in the kitchen – multiply your batch volume by the ladle count and you know exactly how many covers each pot delivers.

Is this ladle suitable for bain-marie service?

Yes. The long handle keeps hands clear of steam over deep bain-marie inserts, and the hooked end rests on the rim so the ladle never slides into the product between orders.

Can I buy ladles in mixed sizes?

Absolutely – most kitchens run a set of 2oz, 4oz and 6oz ladles so every station portions consistently. Ask us for bundle pricing on a mixed ladle set when you request a quote.
