Title: Curry / Chef spoon
Post by: RubyDoo on December 18, 2012, 03:20 PM
Any one know where to buy these from  - 30g as per Julian's site. Not sure if he is still trading but judging by the price of the pans I am sure I can get the spoons cheaper.   ;)

Perhaps should add that I have one already and think they are very useful due to length and the handle not heating too much. Yes I know any old spoon would do but they just have a feel about them.  :)  ( and I can hang 'em on butchers hook in larder )

You are quite right Solar, I didn't search properly as if I had I would have found this thread.  If anyone wants to delete then fine by me.  Quick look indicates that perhaps Julian's are not that bad price wise as delivery is included.  ;)  Seems to have generated some debate within your thread though  ;)  Comments about the length of handle are right though  - they make life much easier and prevent overheating.

Ok  . Thanks to Martinvic's post on other thread I think these are the ones.

16" version is mine and they do others but postage prohibitive for this unless I want to have a blow out on other gear.

Or could be the heavy ones

That's a very good price, but probably no longer available.

Not intended to be disingenuous to anyone, but don't we just seem to want to buy so that we can give the aura of being a 'chef'. I have no idea about the 'dipping' used by chefs and it must have taken years of experience to master. I would rather stick with what i have already and use the spoon measurements in recipes rather than look professional and get it all wrong

I like to use a silicone spatula these days. Cant beat them for scraping the sides down clean when cooking and when emptying the contents into a bowl or a plate.
Helps with the washing up too.  ;)

The only downside is the majority tend to be quite short, but there are longer ones around if you search around.

I've always ever used a table spoon.

I got myself a 14" genware stainless steel serving spoon. I'm happy with them, but sometimes it does seem they don't slide very well when scraping, which sort of defeats the purpose.
