Vollrath 64136 Jacob's Pride 14" Heavy-Duty 3-Sided Solid Basting Spoon with Ergo Grip Handle

The flat part of the spoon help scrape the bottom better than the standard spoon shape. It's not a very long spoon once you take the handle length into consideration though the handle does feel nice.

This basting spoon looks and feels solid; the shape is perfect to get into corners (if you are right-hand dominant). I am okay using it to serve from a glass or ceramic dish, but the angled part of the spoon feels a little sharp and might leave scratches on a metal pan if used with a heavy hand.

I purchased this one and the Vollrath 46948 13" Standard Stainless Steel 3-Sided Serving Spoon with Grip 'N Serve Handle, both are great spoons and function the same, this one just has a nicer handle but is a little more expensive. This spoon is great and we use it with all kinds of casseroles and other baked dishes (it works great for lasagna.) We would highly recommend it to anyone the has a kitchen.

I use this basting spoon whenever I'm pan searing meats in my cast iron skillet. The ergonomic handle makes a huge difference for me, due to my arthritis. I also appreciate the lifetime warranty that comes with all Jacob's Pride merchandise, as it's becoming rarer and rarer to find manufacturers with that sort of commitment to their products.
