I bet this is one of those ladles that has the annoying habit of sliding off the edge of the pot and sinking below the surface of the soup every time you go looking for it.

My wife bought one of these because it is cute, but it is almost completely non-functional. The handle bends when you ladle anything. DO NOT BUY THIS if you are looking for a functional kitchen tool.

I have this and the tea strainer from @jreljac’s post. Pleasantly surprised to see them both pop up on the boingboing!

Doubles as a hat.
