Mercer Culinary 18-8 Stainless Steel Plating Spoon, 9 Inch, Matte Black

I wanted a stainless-steel stirring spoon, and this is a good choice. I previously ordered a different spoon, which turned out to be a mixing spoon and was more like a paddle than a spoon, i.e., too big for the job. I do wish the handle was about 1 - 2 inches longer, but most spoons of this type are about 9 inches in length, which gets the job done but is a bit short. This spoon is well-made and of good quality stainless-steel.

I love these. Well made. Perfect size for serving. Quality stainless. Started out with one, now have four!

I love this sauce spoon which is multipurpose. I've used it for sauces and garnishes, spoonfuls of guacamole, servings of rice. It is durable, aesthetically pleasing, and functional.

Now That's a spoon!

When I came back to order a couple more: out of stock So bought another that is too short, not the right shape and handle not comfortable. they’re back in stock ! Yay! Am ordering a few more not only for myself but also family.

This has a handle that is not too long for fine control. The bowl has a great size, shape and taper and the edge is beveled to a nice edge that is not too thick. The stainless seems fairy sturdy, but time will tell if the handle is thick enough to stand up to heavy use. It looks like it will hold up, but I would feel more confident if the handle was just a bit thicker. All in all, it is a nice tool that will get the job done, probably for years, but I expected a slightly heavier-duty handle at this price point.

I keep buying this spoon! Sturdy, attractive, and useful. I use it for plating, as a serving spoon, and also to baste while roasting or sauteing. I also use it when needing to gently fold in ingredients. I have two in my drawer, two in my traveling knife kits, and I have purchased a couple for friends. Writing this review will probably prompt me to buy another.

I ordered a bunch of these for my cooks for plating spoons. Good substitute for the Kunz spoon, better price point (especially if they run the risk of disappearing). They stand out in the silverware rack so it’s easy to find them at the end of the shift.

As advertised, scratched easily on the coating but shape and sturdiness is awesome

Really nice spoon, comparable to a kunz but black and has a nice groove on the handle for better grip. Size of the bowl is about the same as a kunz

I use this spoon to baste with 5 days a week 10 hrs a day at work. I've probably basted 1000 fish with it and it still looks brand new and never lets me down. I got the rose gold finish and it hasn't chipped or peeled at all which I thought it might. Perfect size for basting or plating, highly recommend.

Very good quality, it will do what I want it for.

aparte de funcional es hermosa. Un poco grande si buscas una cuchara convencional, pero es perfecta para salseos.
