Multi-Function Kitchen Utensils

The Spadle is a Spoon That Can Easily Transform Into a Ladle

— August 12, 2016 — Art & Design
The Spadle is a multi-functional kitchen utensil that can be used as a spoon or a ladle depending on what the user needs.

The Spadle can transform from a spoon to a ladle simply by twisting the handle. The Spadle has a flat squeegee tip to easily scoop out all the contents of a pot or pan while cooking. The spoon aspect of the Spadle is perfect for stirring and the ladle aspect makes it easy to serve anything from stew to sauce. The head of the Spadle also acts as a measuring cup with a 1/2 cup capacity, and measurement lines for 100 ml, 1/4 cup, teaspoon and tablespoon.

Since users only need one utensil to measure, cook and serve, it means efficiency while cooking and less clean up for the chef.

3. Food Service - The food service industry can benefit from multi-functional utensils to decrease the number of utensils required for cooking and serving, which can lead to less clutter and more organized work spaces.
