Big (and little) dipper.

These ladles from GIR sure are game changers. Each one has a flexible yet sturdy silicone body that hugs the curves of your pots and pans just like a spatula would, scooping up every last spoonful of soup or sauce. A precision pouring edge ensures you won't spill a drop. Opt for the skinny one when filling up jars of preserves and salsas, and use the bigger one for...well...just about everything else. And don’t let that flexibility fool you—these dynamos are tough enough to handle your heartiest chili. (They’re even dishwasher-safe and heat-proof up to 464°F!) Look inside the bowl and you'll find imperial and metric measurement guides in easy-to-read text so you can fill up those jam jars with the exact amount.

Let's dish up! We've got recipes for a one-pot, soul-warming Ghanaian chicken soup, a roasted pepper soup that needs only five ingredients, and how to make creamy veggie soup in just a few steps.
