Separate solids from liquids easily with this straining ladle. Perfect for pastas, raviolis, veggies - you name it. Also great for straining soups so you get that perfect ratio of broth:food.

Perfect, I love it. Great gift idea !!!

The cool new Straining Ladle ($15) is the perfect all-in-one cooking utensil that lets you scoop, strain and pour soups, stocks, vegetables and more. This clever 6.5 ounce stainless steel ladle features perforated holes on one side for straining liquids and a traditional solid wall for scooping and pouring individual portions. Best of all, now there's only one cooking tool to store rather than two. (via Michael Kiely)
