Kitchen gadgets are fun, especially when they’re fun kitchen gadgets designed more for entertainment than actual culinary function. That corn on the cob stripper? Probably not essential. That half-an-avocado saver? Maybe not crucial but definitely helpful. This Loch Ness monster-themed ladle for soup? Adorable and necessary for serving up some delicious conspiracy theories about the world’s most elusive giant.
Nessie Turquoise Ladle by OTOTO


It’s made by the award-winning design studio OTOTO and is designed to look like the Loch Ness monster’s head popping out of your boiling soup. It also works as a functional ladle with a wide, deep basin at the bottom for scooping bowl fills with ease. It’s made of BPA-free material that’s dishwasher-safe and resistant to boiling water temperatures.
It’s colorful, comes in purple and green as well, and is a part of an entire line of “Nessie” products that include colanders and tea infuser spoons.
