The Ladle Sweeper Makes it Easy to Scoop Out Every Last Drop from the Pot

— January 13, 2014 — Art & Design
The Ladle Sweeper is ideal for use when dishing out liquidy dinners. These scenarios often require a couple of implements to get the last mouthfuls of food out of a saucepan, but thanks to Yoon Jeho, you only need to dirty one.

The winner of a 2013 Red Dot Design Award, this utensil saves space in your kitchen by combining two culinary tools into one. The handle and one half of the stirring spoon are made from white plastic, but the end half of the scooper has been manufactured from flexible silicone. The Ladle Sweeper keeps its concave shape when you're lightly filling it with soups, stews and curries, but it bends to get into the corners of your pot in order to gather up the last of the contents.
Trend Themes
1. Combination Utensils - The Ladle Sweeper combines two culinary tools into one, offering convenience and space-saving in the kitchen.
2. Flexible Silicone Cookware - The use of flexible silicone in the Ladle Sweeper allows for better reach and collection of food, revolutionizing cooking utensils.
3. Efficient Food Scooping - The Ladle Sweeper's innovative design allows for easy and thorough scooping of every last drop of food from a pot, reducing food waste.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchenware - The Ladle Sweeper's combination of utensils and space-saving design presents an opportunity for disruption in the kitchenware industry.
2. Cooking Utensils - The use of flexible silicone and innovative designs in cooking utensils, as seen in the Ladle Sweeper, opens up new possibilities for product innovation in the industry.
3. Food Waste Reduction - Efficient food scooping tools like the Ladle Sweeper can play a role in reducing food waste and improving sustainability in the food industry.
