When serving meatballs with sauce use a

• A. Ladle
• B. Solid spoon
• C. Fork
• D. Slotted spoon

Answer: (B)

When serving meatballs in sauce, the utensil you choose should lift a solid item while keeping some sauce with it. A solid spoon has a smooth, unperforated bowl that can scoop a meatball along with a portion of sauce in one smooth motion, making for neat portions with sauce intact and minimal dripping. A ladle is designed to pour sauce, not reliably grip a meatball, so the meatball may slip or you’ll end up serving mostly liquid. A fork can be used, but it can pierce the meatball and doesn’t hold onto sauce well, often resulting in a mess or an uneven transfer. A slotted spoon drains liquids, which would remove most of the sauce and leave the meatball dry. So the solid spoon is the best choice for this task.
