How do I choose a serving spoon?

Choosing the right serving spoon involves considering a number of criteria to ensure that it meets the needs of the service and provides an optimal experience. By considering these different criteria, you can choose a serving spoon that is not only functional and durable, but also contributes to service efficiency and the overall customer experience.

Types of food served: opt for a soup or sauce spoon with a deep spoon for soups and sauces, choose a standard serving spoon with a wide spoon for vegetables and main courses, and prefer a smaller, more aesthetically pleasing dessert spoon for fruit and creams.

Choose the material: stainless steel is tough, hygienic, durable and easy to clean; silver is elegant but requires more maintenance; a plastic material is lightweight, economical and ideal for buffets or informal events; or wood is attractive but may require special care and may be less hygienic for specific uses.

Consider the dimensions: the length of the handle should allow for easy, comfortable handling; the capacity of the spoon should be appropriate for the portions being served (for example, a soup spoon should be able to hold a good amount of liquid).

Ergonomics: the handle should be comfortable to hold in order to avoid fatigue. The weight of the spoon should be neither too light nor too heavy for prolonged use.

Aesthetics and design: choose a design that matches the décor and ambience of your restaurant and a matt or glossy finish, depending on your preferences and the maintenance required.

Ease of cleaning and maintenance: choose materials that won't tarnish or deteriorate when washed.

Durability: choose spoons that are sturdy and resistant to wear and tear, unless you use them occasionally.

Safety: make sure that the materials used do not react with food and that the edges are smooth to prevent injury.
