serving utensil
Dish-to-plate transferrer
A serving utensil is a tool designed for transferring food from a shared dish to individual plates—larger and sturdier than eating utensils.
Serving spoons, tongs, ladles, and spatulas are common examples.
The buffet had serving utensils beside each dish.
The term distinguishes tools meant for portioning from those meant for eating.
