KitchenAid Classic Basting Spoon, Black, 16.5-Inch

Recently I decided to display my kitchen utensils in a decorative crock on my counter. In doing so I quickly realized there were some that really needed to be replaced. I have a few of the KitchenAid utensils in aqua sky which match beautifully in my Coral kitchen. When I saw this one at such a reasonable add-on price I couldn't resist. This has to be the best $3 I have spent in years. First let me address the picture online which appears to be more of a mint green color. It is in fact the beautiful turquoise Aqua Sky of other KitchenAid products. Secondly in measuring mine I find that it was actually a full 14 inch long. The spoon part holds exactly 1/2 cup. I'm sure this will be perfect for a basting spoon, as another reviewer said it is perfect for serving soup. My first use was serving stew beef. I am more than pleased with the spoon and in fact plan on ordering two more so that I can get rid of some of the ones I have that are so old and discolored. What a Wonderful by this has been
