Wooden Spoons Vs. Metal and Plastic Spoons

Wooden Spoons Vs. Metal and Plastic Spoons - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. I am going to talk about different kinds of spoons that you might use in the kitchen. Specifically, these are my favorite. These are composite spoons. They are shaped like your typical wooden spoon, but they are not wood. So, that means a couple things. Number one, no splinters. Number two, you can put them in a dishwasher. If you have wooden spoons, you cannot leave them in water for very long because they will warp and dry out. These are great for nonstick cooking because they will not scratch the bottom of the pans. Now, some other spoons you might use. This is a plastic one, I hardly ever use it. It would melt if it touched the bottom of a hot pot. And this one is very flimsy, so even if I tried to use it to scoop out some food, it would probably drop half of it. Now this one is great for serving or scooping out food into a big bowl because it has got a wide, this is also called a bowl, a wide bowl of the spoon and you can get a lot of food in it. This one is pretty light. I do not like to use this one for stirring because it is very big in the hand. But, like I said, this one is my favorite. It is a composite spoon and it is great for all kinds of applications.
