What is a "server"?

A server is a utensil used for transferring food from a cooking container to a plate or bowl, or for serving food to guests at the dining table. Servers come in various shapes and sizes, depending on their specific purpose. They may include slotted spoons for draining liquids, serving forks for lifting and serving larger food items, spatulas for flipping and serving delicate foods, and ladles for portioning out soups, stews, or sauces. Servers are typically made of metal, plastic, or silicone and are designed to be sturdy and heat-resistant for safe handling of hot foods.
