Spoons are great. One of my #1 rules in the kitchen is to tail never dump from a sautee pan onto a plate. ALWAYS use a spoon for plating.

I know several chefs who have a love affair with their spoon. I wasn’t brought up that way so I don’t get it. It seems alot of young chefs imagine themselves hunched over a plate with his favorite spoon making beautiful food.

There is a reason that The TICK used “SPOON” for his battle cry!

Aside from knives, my most used cooking implement are chop sticks. I can stir, flip, poke, prod… basically anything except baste. I’m still looking for a favorite spoon. With this inspiration maybe I’ll succeed soon.

Heath, I look forward to being able to buy a cut of Mangalitza pork over the internet. I am happy you are off and running and the Manga’s are becoming established in the marketplace.

My baby brother was born when I was 13. He was hell on wheels as a toddler. In fact, Granny called him “tornado”. When he did something particularly heinous, we would wail on his butt with a stainless steel slotted spoon. Hence the threat — “Do you want the spoon?” Great tool, totally different application…

My grandmother had a large spoon with an extremely ornate handle that she used for everything cooking project. She would give me tatstes of her concotions when I could barely see above the stove top. I remember it being too large for my mouth back then, but it was probably a tea spoon….

I too have a “spoon” or rather an ex-spoon. Years ago my father took it upon himself to flatten a very nice spoon. Why? Who knows? After my mother and I yelled and screamed “what the F! were you thinking???” it turned out that it became an excellent little spatula. It’s perfect – I would certainly miss it if I no longer had it and whenever I use it I chuckle bringing back memories.

I knew JunkyPos was joking but “forgot” to respond in kind. I must have gotten distracted.

BTW, the breast milk is 13-14 years old.

Hi Michael,
There is something strangely poignant about this piece. I’m not sure why that is… Hope you are well.

Umm, Chef delGrosso;

I think JunkyPOS was making a “play on words”. He was attempting humour which is sometimes lost on geniuses.

As you missed this, your comment which amused me to no end all day today, now suddenly scares me.

You really, really thought about this, didn’t you?

Now, I realize that you were completely serious (as always).

How can a man who has 19 year old (can’t remember exact date) breast milk in his freezer be so serious?

Plus, surely you cannot miss the irony of the commentor’s moniker.

Lighten up!

As always, with Respect,

Rhonda

Bob, I think the term chef knife is used too loosely these days. I never knew what a real knife was till I stepped up to the ten inch vitorinox french chef knife.

Wilma, you and my mom… four pots and the oven going ….food to die for and one fork and one crummy knife on the counter. Maybe a spoon too. Precious.

I’m with Sue. Forks are MY kitchen workhorse. I think nothing of whipping up a bechamel or a double batch of chocolate chip cookies with a simple dinner fork.

Maybe it’s a female thing.

It was not my intention to digress. But I suppose I did.

I was thinking that a chef’s knife would be the more useful kitchen tool until I realized that, unlike that bent spoon in the photo, you can’t cook heroin on a knife.
