Wooden spoon

A wooden spoon is a handheld kitchen tool. They are bigger than serving spoons with a long handle designed to keep the user’s hand away from heat while stirring hot food. Wooden spoons are really versatile because they don’t transfer heat like metal spoons however they tend to absorb smells like onion and garlic.

Because of this reason, wooden spoons are great for stirring mixtures like soups, stews and sauces while cooking.
