Serving Utensils

You have your serving bowl and family-sized platter — now all you need are the right serving utensils to bring your favorite dishes to the table. Salad tossers, serving spoons, serving forks, ladles, tongs, cake knives and cake servers are all commonly used during family dinners and special events, so they are handy to have around the house.

If you're looking to revamp your serveware collection, here are your must-have accessories:

Salad tossers and tongs

Even though these two tools have specific purposes, they can serve multiple functions. Tongs are great for the grill, but they can also work for handling appetizers and bite-sized portions. Salad tossers can be used to mix (and serve) any large-portioned meal, including stir fry or pasta salad.

Serving spoons, serving forks and ladles

Whether its fresh fruit or soup, every kitchen needs these helpful utensils. To ensure that there are plenty on hand for your next party, be sure to get more than one size.

Cake knives and cake servers

Dish up that dessert in style with some new servers. Although they're mostly used for cake, they're also ideal for pies, brownies and other yummy desserts.
