Introduction

Kitchen utensils seem like the most unimportant topic for an ordinary person. But they are the most essential pieces of equipment for a person who has to cook. The necessary kitchen utensils are made according to certain requirements that are necessary. Any person who chooses their kitchen spoons ensures that the spoons will not damage their cookware. The manufacturing process of the spoons varies due to the different requirements.

A spoon is a utensil is comprised of a little head hollow at the ending of a grip, used principally to serve or to eat food or semi-liquid and a few solid foodstuffs like rice and muesli which cannot be simply lifted with a fork. Spoons are also used in food preparation to measure and mix elements. They are usually made ??of metal, wood, porcelain or plastic .There are certain requirements that are necessary for the kitchen spoon. A kitchen spoon is a tool that can be used to stir, lift or strain food. For example, a non- stick pot, skillet or pan requires the use of a plastic or silicone kitchen spoon. Any other material will damage and scratch the surface of the cookware. Additionally, there are some plastic spoons that can withstand heat and some that cannot withstand heat. The kitchen spoons that will be used to stir or lift food in a skillet or hot pot should have the right degree of heat resistance. Some spoons need to be long if the pot is too deep, like ladles and some need to be flat, like spatulas (Brooks, 2004).

Spatulas can be made of rubber or silicone, because they are used to blend or scrape food from bowls and other cookware. There are different types of spatulas, which are made of metal or plastic, like flippers and plastic egg turners.

Also, called a vegetable strainer, a colander is not easy to store because of its shape and most will not easily nest together, but they are essential for various tasks from cleaning vegetables to straining pasta or tin contents. Either plastic or steel are practical, but with metal, choose stainless steel to reduce the risk of rusting. Chef'n has a new breed of colapsible colanders that are easier to store, and they come in various sizes.

Compared to a serving spoon, a pair of tongs enables you to more easily grab and transfer larger food items, poultry or meat portions to a serving platter, to a hot skillet or deep fryer, or to a plate. It gives you a better grip and the longer the tongs, the better especially when used with a deep fryer, a large stock pot or at the barbecue. There are various sizes and styles of tongs - some have (non-scratching) heat resistant silicone for use with nonstick cookware, or rubberized handles for a better ...
