The Richmond Large Plating Spoon has been one of the best-selling items at CKTG for years, and the reason is simple: it is a well-made, properly proportioned saucing spoon at a price that makes sense whether you are stocking a professional kitchen or picking up a few as gifts. Line cooks reach for this spoon constantly during service for saucing plates, basting proteins, tasting, and the dozen other tasks where a good spoon in hand makes the difference between clean work and a mess.
Built from 18/8 stainless steel with a mirror-polished bowl and brushed handle, the large plating spoon holds approximately 2.5 tablespoons - enough capacity for a clean sauce smear or a controlled pour without being oversized for a composed plate. At 230mm and 2.8 oz it has the reach and presence of a serious working spoon. Multiple reviewers have noted it is functionally identical to the Kunz spoon - same feel in the bain marie, same weight, same performance - at a fraction of the price. Once you work with a proper saucing spoon during service it becomes a tool you will not want to be without.
What Customers Are Saying: Reviewers consistently compare this directly to the Kunz spoon - one measured it at just 2 grams heavier and said he could not tell the difference between the Richmond and his Kunz sticking out of the spoon bain. A home cook who bought a set five years ago still reaches for it daily for stirring batters, scooping muffin mix, and general serving. Line cooks describe it as a workhorse essential that goes everywhere during service. The value relative to premium alternatives comes up in nearly every review.
Care Instructions: Dishwasher safe. For best appearance, hand wash and dry promptly to preserve the mirror finish on the bowl and brushed finish on the handle.

This spoon is an exact copy of the Kunz spoon, which really is all you need to know if you're familiar with that spoon. It weighs in at 2 grams heavier than the Kunz but using it I feel no difference. I can't tell the difference between my Richmond and Kunz spoons sticking out of the spoon bain. If you like the Kunz, but can't stomach $12 per spoon, definitely pick these up as a slightly cheaper alternative.

I love plating spoons, so I picked up one of these to see what they were about. The next order I picked up four more. This spoon matches my Kunz spoon step for step and is less expensive. It's sturdy enough to move a 20 qt rondeau across the range without needing to reach for a towel and delicate enough to plate a single scallop, then sauce the plate. For a home cook, I recommend it highly. For a pro, I can't recommend it highly enough.

Really well made. High quality stainless steel. Thick and heavy. Great finish. The bowl is a perfect size and the handle is very comfortable. A better deal than the Kunz IMO. We bought 2. Nice one CKTG!

Great plating spoon. large enough to carry enough product to the plate in one pass, yet nimble and ergonomic enough to do the job without messing the plate either. Well worth the money. As always, great products and great service from CKTG! Thanks!
