Commercial Spoons & Ladles in Toronto & Canada

Spoons and ladles are the serving and stirring tools behind every soup, sauce, and buffet line, and you'll want a full set whenever you're opening a kitchen, setting up a buffet, or replacing tools that have warped or gone missing. Winco makes most of this collection, including the Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Basting Spoon in solid, perforated, and slotted styles, the One-Piece Stainless Steel Ladle in sizes from 1/2 oz to 16 oz, and the Wooden Stirring Spoon in lengths from 12" to 18" for big pots. Browne's HORIZON Stainless Steel Serving Spoon is a dishwasher safe serving piece in 10" and 13" lengths, solid or slotted. No matter where you're located — a soup kitchen in Toronto, a catering hall in Mississauga, or right here in Vaughan — Phoenix Food Equipment gets spoons and ladles to you across the GTA and nationwide across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What are slotted spoons used for?

A slotted spoon lifts solid food out of liquid and lets the liquid drain through the openings, so it's the tool for fishing poached eggs, blanched vegetables, boiled potatoes, or meatballs out of a pot. Slotted spoons have long openings and perforated spoons have round holes, while a solid spoon keeps the liquid, which is what you want for basting or serving sauce. The Winco Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Basting Spoon comes in all three styles. For everyday draining, the Winco 11.75" Stainless Steel Slotted Spoon with Hollow Handle is a stainless steel option with a hollow handle, and the Winco Nylon Slotted Spoon is heat resistant up to 410°F (210°C) and non-stick friendly, so it won't scratch a pan.

What is a spout ladle used for?

A spout ladle has a pouring lip built into the bowl, so sauce, gravy, or dressing leaves in a controlled stream instead of running down the side of the ladle. That makes it a good fit at a sauce station, a salad bar, or a buffet where you're portioning a small amount at a time. The Winco Stainless Steel 1 Oz Spout Ladle with Hollow Handle has a rounded, deep bowl, a hollow handle that stays cooler to the touch, and it's dishwasher safe. The Winco CURV Black One-Piece Dual Spout Ladle has spouts on both sides so you can pour from any angle, a notch on the handle that keeps it from sliding into the food, and it's NSF listed.

Are wooden spoons safe for cooking?

Yes, wooden spoons are a long-standing choice for stirring. Wood doesn't scratch cookware and doesn't conduct heat like metal, so the handle stays comfortable. It is porous, though, so wash by hand, dry the spoon fully, avoid soaking it, and replace any spoon that cracks or turns rough, since damage can hold food. The Winco Wooden Stirring Spoon is a paddle-like spoon in 12", 14", 16", and 18" lengths, long enough for stock pots. Kitchens that prefer a non-porous option often choose nylon, like the Winco High Heat Nylon Spoon, which is one-piece, stain resistant, heat resistant up to 400°F (204°C), and suited to non-stick cookware. If you're unsure what your kitchen is required to use, check with your local public health unit.
