Use this basic yet functional 13" perforated basting spoon for anything from straining vegetables to lifting and draining braised, poached, and seared foods. Made of smooth 18/8 stainless steel, this spoon will hold light or heavy dishes and drizzle the perfect amount of meat drippings over your most delicious dishes. The small equally spaced holes in the base of this spoon are perfect for quick draining of liquids and fats. Its black bakelite handle is engineered to be lightweight and more graspable than ordinary handle bases, and the convenient built-in notch will prevent this spoon from sliding into the pan. Bakelite handles are heat resistant up to 230 degrees Fahrenheit.
