I love cooking, and I cook every day for me and my wife (home office since 2008 helps there), and I love hearing about new things. I have the book “The Science of Cooking” which was fascinating.

    I recently got a carbon steel pan. While I have a metal spatula, I prefer using wooden utensils, they do double duty with my ceramic pan.

    I have been phasing out almost all the plastic I have at home :)

      Huh I use wooden spoons but Ive never used a wooden spatula but I could see how a well made one could get better than a plastic one, but peeling power of a metal baby cant be beaten.

      Do they not burn? Ever time I’ve thought of trying wooden utensils with a pan I’ve worried I’d burn them, so I’ve always thought they were just for serving or mixing.

        No, and unlike plastic it won’t even slowly kill you ;)

        I’ve been using a wooden spoon for over a decade.
