kauhaa
Kauha is a Finnish noun meaning a large spoon or ladle used for scooping and serving foods, especially liquids such as soups and stews. In everyday kitchen use, kauha denotes a utensil larger than a dining spoon (lusikka) and is primarily associated with serving rather than eating. It is a common item in households, restaurants, and professional kitchens.
In cooking and recipe contexts, kauha is often mentioned when instructions call for portioning or dishing out
Kauha is considered a native Finnish term and sits within the broader category of eating utensils (ruokailuvälineet).
