Product details
A deep, rounded brass ladle made for serving dal, rice, and curries at the table.
Brass Dal Ladle has a rounded, cupped bowl at one end, shaped to hold liquids and semi-solids like dal, sambar, or curry without spilling as it moves from pot to plate. The bowl is joined to a long brass neck that connects to a turned wooden handle, giving a comfortable grip that stays cooler than an all-metal ladle during use.

Frequently Asked Questions
•
What is a brass dal ladle typically used for?
It is used for serving liquid-based dishes such as dal, sambar, rasam, and curries from the cooking pot to individual plates or bowls.
•
Is this ladle meant for cooking or only for serving?
It is designed mainly for serving. For stirring or cooking, a flatter or wider utensil like a turner is usually more suitable.
•
How do I clean a brass ladle with a wooden handle?
Wash the brass bowl and neck with mild soap and water, and wipe the wooden handle separately with a damp cloth rather than soaking it, to keep the wood from swelling or cracking.
•
Will the brass ladle darken over time, and is that normal?
Yes, brass naturally develops a darker tone with use and air exposure. This is expected and doesn't affect the ladle's function; regular cleaning can restore some shine.
•
Is the wooden handle heat-safe when serving hot dal or curry?
Yes, the long brass neck keeps the handle at a safe distance from the hot food, so the wooden grip stays comfortable to hold.
