What does LADLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large, long-handled spoon with a deep, cup-shaped bowl, used for serving liquids such as soup, stew, or sauce.
A ladle lets a cook lift a measured portion of liquid food from a large pot without tipping or spilling the container itself, and its long handle keeps hands away from the heat. Beyond the kitchen, foundries use a much larger metal ladle to carry molten metal from a furnace to a mold, a use that shares the same basic scooping action on an industrial scale. As a verb, to ladle something means to serve or transfer it using exactly this scooping motion.
