This is a perfect example of a well-designed serving tool that was badly made. The bowl of the spoon is generous, but not as deep as a ladle. The shorter handle makes it easy to use and control, espcecially when scooping up heavier casseroles from a baking dish. What a shame it was so cheaply made! In less than six months, without ever putting it in the dishwasher, I've found the handle to be cracking away from the bowl. Right now, it's just a couple of deep cracks in the handle, which makes it difficult to be sure the piece is clean, but it's obviously one or two uses away from breaking completely. Darn it, Farberware! With just a little more attention to quality control, you could have had a real hit on your hands.
