The silver basting spoon, also known as a gravy spoon, was first introduced in the 17th century in England. However, very few pieces have survived from that era. Originally, designed for removing stuffing from roasted poultry, they are now considered an essential serving piece. A basting spoon is a versatile, large spoon that can also be used for gravy.
