I ordered this spoon to go with my OXO serving fork. This is a large spoon, and is very heavily constructed. I can't imagine any kitchen activity that this spoon wouldn't be up to. It is very ruggedly made of stainless steel, and best of all, is dishwasher safe, a feature sometimes not present in high end utensils. The only thing that surprised me a bit about this spoon is its length: it is just over 11 inches long, which is somewhat shorter than many competing serving spoons. In my kitchen, this hasn't been a problem, but for some people with extremely deep pots it could come up a bit short.
