Mercer 9-inch Slotted Plating Spoon

The 9-inch slotted plating spoon lifts solids out of their liquid so they reach the plate without a puddle: blanched peas from their water, beans from a braise, or poached fruit from syrup. The slots drain quickly, and the slightly tapered bowl places the food neatly.

The micro-serrated handle gives a secure hold, and the 9-inch length reaches into deeper pans and hotel pans on the line.

Choosing a Draining Spoon

For smaller garnishes, the 7 7/8-inch slotted spoon is shorter. The 9-inch perforated spoon has smaller holes for fine items such as caviar. Mercer also groups these tools into sets, listed in the Details.
