We always just used a regular gravy ladle. By the time I quit getting milk
straight from the cow I could skim off nearly all the cream with an ordinary
gravy ladle. You don't dip it deep enough to dip into the milk. You use a
skimming motion instead of a dipping motion and it won't mix the two up as
much.
