         8 . The spoon according to  claim 1 , wherein the rounded second edge is rounded to correspond to a curvature of an inner surface of a container for cutting contents against the inner surface of the container. 
     
     
         9 . The spoon according to  claim 1 , wherein the serrated portion has a substantially circular arc shape. 
     
     
         10 . The spoon according to  claim 1 , wherein the serrated portion includes a plurality of spaced teeth forming peaks and valleys and extends substantially upward toward a top of the bowl. 
     
     
         11 . The spoon according to  claim 10 , wherein the peaks of the plurality of spaced teeth are planar with the top of the bowl. 
     
     
         12 . The spoon according to  claim 1 , wherein a top of the serrated portion is planar with a top of the bowl. 
     
     
         13 . The spoon according to  claim 12 , wherein the serrated portion has a substantially circular arc shape. 
     
     
         14 . A spoon comprising:
 a handle; and   a bowl having a first edge coupled to an end of the handle and a second edge opposite the rounded first edge, the bowl including a serrated portion at a top of the second edge and extending around a circumference of the bowl on either side of the second edge along sides of the bowl such that the serrated portion is about twenty percent to about fifty percent of the circumference of the bowl,   wherein the serrated portion has a substantially circular arc shape, and   wherein the serrated portion includes a plurality of spaced teeth forming peaks and valleys and extends substantially upward toward a top of the bowl.   
     
     
         15 . The spoon according to  claim 14 , wherein the second edge of the bowl and the sides of the bowl are rounded such that the edge and sides correspond to a curvature of an inner surface of a container for cutting contents against the inner surface of the container. 
     
     
         16 . The spoon according to  claim 14 , wherein the first and second edges of the bowl have substantially the same curvature. 
     
     
         17 . The spoon according to  claim 14 , wherein the second edge is rounded to correspond to a curvature of an inner surface of a container for cutting contents against the inner surface of the container. 
     
     
         18 . The soup spoon according to  claim 14 , wherein the peaks of the plurality of spaced teeth are planar with the top of the bowl. 
     
     
         19 . An onion soup spoon comprising:
 a handle; and   a bowl having a first edge coupled to an end of the handle and a second edge opposite the rounded first edge, the bowl including a serrated portion at a top of the second edge and extending around a circumference of the bowl on either side of the second edge along sides of the bowl such that the serrated portion is about fifty percent of the circumference of the bowl,   wherein the serrated portion has a substantially circular arc shape.   
     
     
         20 . The onion soup spoon according to  claim 19 , wherein the first and second edges of the bowl have substantially the same curvature.
