Silk Consommé Spoon in Stainless Steel JAY by Lacor

Silk Consommé Spoon by JAY by Lacor: a slim, discreet spoon for broths and creamed soups

The Silk consommé spoon is a piece of cutlery from JAY, part of the Lacor group, made in Spain from stainless steel. It is 190 mm long and 2 mm thick. It is sold in a pack of 12: each box holds 12 identical spoons for serving consommés, broths and light creamed soups.

What it brings to your table

• Soft-lined design: Lacor presents it as a fluid, delicate piece, made for people who notice the small details of the table.
• Stainless steel: a neutral material at the table, which does not alter the taste of a hot broth.
• 190 mm long: a length typical of a consommé spoon, easy to handle in a deep plate, a cup or a bowl.
• 2 mm thick: a slim profile that looks discreet next to the plate and accompanies it without drawing attention.
• Sold in a pack of 12: one box with 12 identical consommé spoons, the usual format for setting up or restocking the service for several tables.

What it is for and when to use it

The consommé spoon is made for the most delicate spoon dishes: clear broths with fine noodles or chopped egg and ham, consommés, veloutés and light creamed soups. If you serve in a cup with a saucer, the spoon rests on the saucer when not in use; if it goes in a deep plate, it is placed on the right, next to the knife. Thanks to its slim profile, it suits a simple, well-kept table with plain tableware, where the cutlery should accompany the plate without competing with it. In a menu of several courses, a single spoon per guest is enough for the soup; the other cutlery is changed with each dish. Count one per person: a pack of 12 covers up to 12 guests, and with fewer guests the rest are kept as spares.

Use and care tips

Stainless steel stands up well to daily use, but it is best washed soon: do not leave the spoon soaking with salt residue or bleach, and do not store it damp in the drawer. If you would rather not take chances, wash it by hand in hot water with mild soap and dry it straight away with a cloth so no limescale marks remain. Avoid metal scourers, which scratch the surface. As it is only 2 mm thick, do not use it either to lever things open, crush ice or scrape the bottom of a pot.
