I'm in love with the OTOTO Nessie Ladle Spoon - Turquoise! I have to admit, when I first saw it on Amazon here, I was a little skeptical - who has ever heard of a ladle shaped like a Loch Ness Monster?! But nevertheless, against all odds, this unique kitchen gadget quickly became an absolute staple in our household cooking routine and is now one of my favorite lovely presents that my husband got me this year!
When we received the product in its adorable packaging, we were thrilled right away by how fun and whimsical it looks like with its vivid turquoise color. It's really well made too: Impressive attention to detail creating almost photo-realistic elements for each part of the design that makes you wonder if Nessie could possibly be real after all (spoiler alert: she isn't!). Its high heat resistance also means that even when serving hot soup or chili from boiling pots, there won't be any issue handling the liquid as it stays nice and cool to touch.
In addition to being incredibly practical for scooping soups and stews etc., I would instead argue that this turquoise ladle spoon also adds just enough fun into every meal without compromising on quality at all; especially useful during dinner parties where friends need something amusing yet useful at their place setting which they can take home afterwards as souvenirs. That said however, no matter how much I may love it –this ladle had been through two dinner parties already– keeping backups around might still be advisable so you don’t need to worry about breaks or chips due overuse 🙂
