Thank goodness! I thought you might have meant for eating boiled eggs. And then we'd have been into "which end of the egg do you open?"

Egluntyne Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Wooden for me....so long as it is fair traded and from a sustainable source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Thank goodness for a proper debate, well done Kev. Trouble is, I had to put can't decide. I should have put plastic as I had a trusty little cheapo plastic spoon in 1977 (a brown one ) that lasted about 25 years. Sadly, I haven't replaced it. How I miss that little spoon. But, should I vote wooden, because that's what I always use now. After all, plastic ones get that horrid melted ridge if you leave it on the heat. But then, wooden ones start to stain or get that grotty overused look. Trusty, plastic one still stirred well despite deformity & old age. But, discarded wooden ones make great puppets! Oh no, I should have turned browny into a puppet, I didn't think at the time. He's irreplaceable. Thanks for reminding me. I hope your poll will encourage people to think carefully about their treatment of spoons. Perhaps when stirring spoons get better lives we can turn our attention to all the poor lost, teaspoons. Where do they go, does anyone care? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I had to vote wooden, I'm a bit of a traditionalist about the spoons that I use for stirring. I stir a lot of things, cake mix, pancake batter, hot boiling water for my poacced eggs, and nothing gives me such a good effect as wood, doesn't conduct heat and mixes to a nice even consistency. And of course if you have Welsh whittling skills you can transform them into lovespoons Perhaps when stirring spoons get better lives we can turn our attention to all the poor lost, teaspoons. Where do they go, does anyone care? Thank you for posing such a vital question Sheila, I was only ranting about this other day. I have probably got about 3 sets of cheapo everyday cutlery in my cutlery drawer, and I'm overflowing with knives, forks and dessert spoons (running at approx 18 of each ). I only have 7 teaspoons though . I can't work it out. Actually correction, I suspect I can, because I also seem to go through potato peelers at a great rate of knots too, until I finally twigged that maybe they're getting chucked into the compost with the peelings. I bet my teaspoons hit the compost with the teabags . Next nice day I think I'd best do some compost turning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
