Ladles and Dippers

Ladles and dippers are long-handled bowl- or cup-shaped utensils used for dipping up and pouring liquids. As dippers are used principally for dipping water, for example in the laundry, and the ladles for foods, as preserves, soups, etc., the ladles are smaller, and hold about a cupful. It is important that the handles be strong and that the length be adapted to their use. Both dippers and ladles are made of tinned and enameled ware.
