This is such a nice soup ladle.  It's not shallow like some ladles so it holds a hefty amount of soup, stews or chili and it doesn't slop out while you are transferring it into your server or bowl.  The brushed stainless steel always looks nice and it's 18/10 which is the highest level of corrosion resistance.  It looks great even after continuously going in and out of the dishwasher.
