Makes since, that way you don't loose your grip and pour that hot stuff in your boot.

Do you speak from experience Wayne ?
You may remember from a few years back it took me 4 tries to get a good seal on the Aermotor bearing I was pouring , I still remember the molten babbitt splashing onto my shins , ( dont wear shorts when pouring babbitt ) even if it is hot weather .

The best part about that ladle is that one side pours from the bottom. It makes skimming dross a little less critical.
Thanks,
