A gravy boat does not necessarily need a ladle, as it is designed with a spout for easy pouring directly from the boat. However, using a ladle can help control the flow and prevent spills, especially when serving larger quantities. Ultimately, the choice depends on personal preference and the serving context.
A gravy ladle is a device used to ladle (spoon or pour) gravy. It is similar in design to soup ladles. It looks like a spoon with a deep curve and nearly perpendicular (at a right angle or 90 degrees) to the handle.
For gravy, any skin that forms on top can simply be removed with a large spoon, but usually gravy will not need skimming unless you let it sit for a while. Skimming is usually done for stocks, and the easiest way to accomplish this is with a ladle. Simply lower the ladle just until it breaks the surface - since the fat and foam float on top, they will be the first things to fall into the ladle.
