Serving utensils are tools used to serve food from a dish to a plate. Common types include spoons, tongs, and ladles. These utensils help in portioning and transferring food, making it easier to serve meals at gatherings or family dinners. Typically made from materials like stainless steel, plastic, or wood, serving utensils come in various sizes and designs. They are often larger than regular eating utensils to accommodate serving larger portions. Proper use of serving utensils promotes hygiene and helps prevent cross-contamination during meal service.
