Dressing Spoon - With or without button (11 1/2 to 15")
A very long handled spoon with large bowl for the serving of dressing (stuffing)
from the cavity of a roasted turkey and other large game bird. In the basic
shape of a tablespoon. The dressing spoon is also called a basting spoon,
buffet spoon gravy spoon, hash spoon, platter spoon, ragout spoon, stuffing
spoon, and a turkey spoon. Some of these names originally represented different utensils
of the same shape but of varying lengths, but the names today have become interchangeable.
A dressing spoon often comes with a short protrusion on the back called a "button." The
purpose of the button is to hook it onto the side of a large platter while not in use so the
spoon doesn't slide into the plate of food, thus the handle remains unsoiled and ready for use.
