Using this Vietri Aladdin sauce ladle is easy. Just dip it into your sauce and scoop up the amount you need. When it comes to cleaning, you can simply put it in the dishwasher as it's dishwasher safe. To keep it looking its best, try not to use abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the brilliant chrome finish. Also, after washing, dry it thoroughly to prevent any water spots. This ladle is made of 18/10 stainless steel, so it's durable, but handle it with care to avoid any dents or damage.
