A ladle, for filtering a mixture containing debris, includes an outer bowl defining outer holes and an upper edge, a handle attached thereto, an inner bowl disposed within the outer bowl forming a gap therebetween and having ether inner holes or protrusions separated by grooves disposed below the upper edge and above the outer holes, several holders joining the outer and inner bowls in the upper region thereof, and inner and outer outlet spouts coaxially provided in the upper regions of the bowls for pouring out the filtered mixture from the ladle. The holders can be made as spring-loaded brackets or latches preferably having a U-loop shape placed over the upper edges of the bowls, providing for a removable attachment of the bowls. Optionally the holders can be made as rivets or screws joining the bowls in the upper regions thereof, providing for a fixed attachment of the bowls.

The present invention relates to a kitchen utensil in the form of a pronged spoon. The utensil has a handle attached to a head. The head is generally circular in shape and has a pronged tipped end. The pronged end has a plurality of tines, including a central tine, inner tines, middle tines and outer tines. A plurality of holes is disposed on the surface of the head for draining or straining excess water or liquid from the food item placed on the head. The handle can be telescopic and has an ergonomic grip for comfortable handling of the utensil.

A ladle, for filtering a mixture containing debris, includes an outer bowl with outer holes and an upper edge, an inner bowl disposed within the outer bowl forming a gap therebetween and having ether inner holes or protrusions separated by grooves, disposed below the upper edge and above the outer holes. The inner bowl can be provided with pins fixed to the protrusions, while the outer bowl can be provided with L-shape notches each matching the corresponding pin. Alternatively, the inner bowl can be provided with pins fixed in an upper region thereof, and the outer bowl can be provided with L-shape notches each matching the corresponding pin. In any case, the L-shape notches serve as guides for the pins during assembling the ladle. The inner bowl and outer bowl are provided with an inner and outer outlet spout respectively, to ease pouring out the filtered mixture from the ladle.

A ladle strainer assembly for straining solids from a liquid includes a handle is hollow wherein the handle is configured to be gripped by a user. A bowl is coupled to the handle for dipping into a liquid to scoop a predetermined volume of the liquid. A strainer is pivotally coupled to the handle and the strainer is positionable in a closed position to facilitate liquid to be drained from the bowl while retaining solids in the bowl. An opener is movably integrated into the handle and the opener is in communication with the strainer. The opener urges the strainer between an open position and the closed position to facilitate the user to open and close the strainer without touching the strainer.

According to one example, a system includes a hollow container and a ladle. The hollow container has a first opening at a proximal end, a second opening at an opposing distal end, and a sidewall that extends from the proximal end to the distal end. The first opening is wider than the second opening. The ladle comprises a handle having a proximal end and a distal end, and further comprises a cup coupled to the distal end of the handle. The cup has an inner surface configured to hold a food item. The cup further has an outer surface configured to substantially seal the second opening of the hollow container from within the hollow container.

A grease absorbing utensil includes a pad that includes a set of layers and a handle coupled to the pad. Each layer is made from at least one flexible material that is lipophilic and biodegradable. The handle is lipophilic and biodegradable.

The Fat Separator Skimmer (FSS) is a ladle; it has an outlet hole in the bottom of the ladle, and a locker for opening and closing outlet hole. The locker close outlet hole to intake mixture liquid of soup and fat or oil by on the top of a bowl of the ladle, then open for soup drain off through outlet hole and it shut off to retain fat in the skimmer. Repeating this process allows for the accumulation of fat in the ladle that is later discarded.
