At 16 inches, it's built for reaching safely and comfortably into deep hotel pans, full-size chafing dishes, and large serving containers at buffets, banquet lines, and institutional food service operations. The 0.9mm gauge provides a firm, balanced spring action that's strong enough for heavier items like roasted proteins and dense vegetables, while remaining comfortable and responsive for lighter serving tasks. The all-stainless design makes it appropriate for both hot and cold service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully dishwasher safe and built without plastic components, the UT-16 handles the demands of high-temperature sanitizing cycles and continuous daily use.
