Topic: whats a chefs spoon

[George]

i have seen measurements as chefs spoon how much is a chefs spoon ? :

It's a good question. The responses so far remind me of the phrase: "how long is a piece of string?"

For example if it really is 4 tbls, like I always assumed, but you followed Naga's advice to use 3 tbls, you'd be a whopping 25% out. Rather than risk ruining a dish by getting it 25% wrong, it might be better to check for each specific recipe. What a pain!

The issue isn't one of whether the "chef's spoon" is a suitable instrument for making curries it's more about the stupidity (emphasis on stupidity) of using it as a measure of ingredients, as exemplified in George's post above.

A chef's spoon is a spoon belonging to said chef.
A chefs' spoon is a spoon belonging to a group of chefs.
A chefs spoon, however is a spoon waiting to be owned by a chef or group of chefs before we can determine if it's going to be a chef's spoon or a chefs' spoon.

Nice to see a few of our better cooks 'outing' themselves with regard to not using the 'chef spoon'.

For my own part, I am torn between the trusted wooden spatula and the other thing.....



One of the above won't be seeing the inside of the wok in the near future......answers on a postcard

Must've deleted their posts then.

I like to think of the 'little woman'. If I use a spatula to cook with and a chefs spoon to dish up with, then she has twice as much washing up to do .

My missus would kill me and skin me alive if I used a metal chef's spoon on our non-stick pans!! Wooden spatula for me. I'm still debating in my head whether it's worth purchasing a aluminium kitchen king pan... Hmmm
