Monday’s Favorite Thing: Wooden Spoon

Stir it up with the right implement

The wooden spoon ranks high on The Mixed Stew’s list of kitchen tools for several reasons. They won’t scratch expensive cookware. Also, they work with cold and hot cooking temperatures. Wooden spoons are better for the environment when compared to plastic kitchen utensils. They are a throwback to old-fashioned outdoor kitchens. We’ve spotted wooden spoons at the local dollar store. But if you feel inclined to order online, here is one site to check out. Look for multiple sizes (lengths of the handle) that work in different cooking situations.

Note: For the holidays, The Mixed Stew is changing it up a bit and talking about some of our favorite things in the kitchen. We hope you enjoy this little break from the routine.
