Cooking Spoons

[HeyWayne]

LOVE those!

I have a wooden spoon for stirring, almost everything else is plastic.

I use wooden spoons and spatulas Mr Pots carves them, out of these the one that's 3rd from the right is the most used.

I know just what you mean, I'm sure I've got one for every occasion

Yours are beautiful too!

[CaroltheCarrot]

Wooden spoons and spatulas made by my boys, some silocon ones as well but I am not so keen on them, metal whisk for sauces and cake mix

[Kleftiwallah]

I'm a wooden spatula bloke, bashing the scrapings off the spatula on the edge of the pot automatically tells you when it is worn out and time to get another one. When the blade end breaks off and falls in the curry!

Cheers, Tony

I use mostly olive wood spatulas and a much-loved long-handled, thin-bowled bamboo spoon for cooking. They don't stain or retain odours/flavours nearly as much as the bog-standard wooden utensils. I love my silicone scrapers but I'm not so fond of the silicone fish slice, which is too thick and flexible. We have a couple of plastic fish slices that are used when necessary but I don't like them much. I also use wire whisks for sauces and a couple of plastic spoons, especially the slotted one and the one with "teeth" for picking up pasta.

Bren, yours are gorgeous! Lucky you!

Wooden spoons for pretty much everything although OH has a plastic spatula which he uses but I find annoying. Use metal for serving up and mixing some raw ingredients but never in pans.

I'd forgotten about my Tupperware plastic spatula I've had it since the 70's when T parties were all the rage.

Wood where it might damage a surface, otherwise usually metal. I use a plastic/silicone scraper to get the cake-mix out of the mixing bowl, and a plastic ladle for dishing up 'wet' things from the non-stick pans, plus a plastic fish-slice for getting friend eggs out of the non-stick frying pan.

Plastic and metal at work, wooden at home
