Premium Cast Iron Ladle for Cooking & Serving - Heavy Duty Do-it Corporation Soup Spoon - Ideal for Kitchens, Restaurants, and Outdoor Cooking

I purchased this ladle to melt and pour small batches of fishing sinkers. I use a 30 lb pot to smelt and clean my lead. I then pour muffin ingots that fit into the ladle..When I need some sinkers I place an ingot into the ladle and use the side burner on my grill to melt and pour my sinkers. Leaving some molten lead in the ladle makes the next ingot melt faster. It usually melts by the time I drop and clean up the new sinkers. I find the end of the handle does not get too hot to handle but I wear gloves anyway.Overall a very good product and great for making small batches of sinkers.
