Rarely Asked Questions
Can you use anything as a ladle if a handle is manually attached?
Yes. As is often said in the podcast hosted by Cash Levy and with frequent guest t.j. Miller, all things are a ladle once a handle is attached. The effectiveness of the ladle is of course on a spectrum- a mug, if a handle is attached, is a very effective ladle. If you attach a handle to a phone case, that technically becomes a ladle but not a very effective one. Here is a spectrum showing different objects that when a handle is attached they become ladles with their corresponding effectiveness score on a scale from one to ten, where ten is the most effective ladle and one is the least:
