nylon spoon

A spoon made from nylon is a practical choice for stirring sauces and serving from cookware that could be scratched by metal utensils. nylon spoon describes a simple kitchen tool, though the name alone says nothing about its shape, length, or temperature rating. By our assessment, nylon’s main advantage is its gentler contact with non-stick surfaces; it is also light and does not conduct heat like a metal spoon. The trade-off is that nylon can soften or deform if exposed to more heat than its design allows, and it is less suited to scraping heavily browned food from a pan. Compared with a wooden spoon, it is generally easier to wash and less likely to absorb cooking smells, while metal is better for high-heat tasks. For a hot pan, the product’s heat limit matters.
