The School of Wok stainless steel ladle is designed specifically with Chinese cooking in mind, with a head angle that works naturally for stirring, scooping, and spreading heat across a wok rather than fighting against its curved sides. It's made from stainless steel throughout, so it's robust enough for daily use and fully dishwasher safe. The comfortable grip and built-in hanging loop are small details that add up to a tool that's easy to use and easy to store. Part of the School of Wok collection developed by Dexam with Jeremy Pang of London's School of Wok cookery school, it's a purposeful piece of kit rather than a generic ladle that happens to be used in a wok.
- Stainless steel construction: Made from stainless steel throughout, this ladle is durable, resistant to corrosion, and built to handle the high heat of regular wok cooking.
- Designed for Chinese cooking: The head is angled specifically for use with a wok, making it easier to stir, scoop, and spread ingredients across the curved surface during stir-frying.
- Dishwasher safe: Unlike many wok accessories with wooden or bamboo handles, this ladle is fully dishwasher safe, so cleaning up after cooking is straightforward.
- Comfort grip handle: The handle is shaped for a comfortable, secure grip, which matters when you're working quickly over high heat.
- Hanging loop for storage: A loop built into the end of the handle lets you hang the ladle on a hook or rail, keeping it within easy reach while you cook.
What Customers Ask About This Product
Is this ladle suitable for use with non-stick woks?
Dexam recommend this ladle for use with uncoated carbon steel woks. If you have a non-stick wok, it's worth checking the manufacturer's guidance, as stainless steel utensils can scratch non-stick coatings.
What can this ladle be used for beyond stir-frying?
It works well for making and serving sauces, ladling soups, and general use around the kitchen. The angled head is particularly useful in a wok, but it functions as a capable everyday ladle too.
How large is the ladle?
The ladle is 36.5cm in total length and 10cm wide at the head, with a depth of 5cm. It's a practical size for most wok and pan sizes used in a home kitchen.
Does this come with a guarantee?
Yes, this ladle comes with a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee from Dexam.
In our experience...
The angle of a wok ladle is not an accident. A standard ladle sits at 90 degrees to its handle, which works fine for a saucepan but feels awkward in a wok. A wok ladle is angled to follow the curve of the bowl, so you can scoop and toss without constantly adjusting your wrist.
Stainless steel ladles can handle high heat without damage. Wok cooking often involves very high temperatures. Stainless steel handles that heat well but does not warp, melt, or transfer flavour into the food, which makes it a better choice than coated or composite utensils for this kind of cooking.
Carbon steel woks and metal utensils are a natural pair. Carbon steel woks are uncoated and built to handle metal contact. Using stainless steel utensils in them is entirely normal and will not cause the kind of damage you'd get with a non-stick surface.
A hanging loop is worth more than it sounds. When you're stir-frying, you rarely have a free hand to rummage in a utensil pot. Hanging your ladle on a hook above or beside the hob keeps it immediately to hand and means it's not sitting in cooking residue between uses.
Dishwasher-safe wok tools are less common than you'd think. Many traditional wok accessories use bamboo or wood handles that cannot go in the dishwasher. An all-stainless ladle removes that friction entirely, which makes it more likely to get washed properly and promptly after use.

Care & Use Instructions
Washing: This ladle is dishwasher safe and can go through a full cycle without damage. You can also hand wash in warm soapy water and dry immediately if preferred.
Storage: Use the hanging loop at the end of the handle to hang the ladle on a hook or kitchen rail near your hob, where it will be ready to use without having to search for it.
Wok compatibility: This ladle is recommended for use with uncoated carbon steel woks. Take care when using metal utensils with non-stick coated cookware, as they can scratch the surface.
