Cooking with My Executive Cookware: Can I Use a Regular Spoon?

[beepampered]

I finally got the executive cookware 7 piece set. I make oatmel in my sauce pan every day. Can I use a regular spoon to stir and serve it? I don't like the bamboo spoons for this but wonder if a spoon is too much metal for the surface....

I think you will void your warrenty but I would double check the use and care. Can you use one of the scrapers? I love them for stirring and cooking.

The Mix 'n' Scraper (regular or small) is the best thing for stirring oatmeal, soup, gravy, whatever...A metal spoon will eventually scratch the surface, no matter how careful you are.

Hmmmm. Guess I'll go back to my stainless steel pan. Serving oatmeal out of a pan with a scraper is too obnoxious - especially when mine is always too dry.

Just out of curiosity, why don't you like the bamboo spoons for this? I make The Furry Guy oatmeal with raisins every morning. I use the bamboo spooners to stir. He eats it right out of the pan with the spooner. I think bamboo is ideal for this job.

Why don't I like the bamboo spoons? Hmmm, they aren't deep enough in the center, I guess. Made a sauce tonight for pasta and wanted to serve some. Of course, I used my regular metal serving spoon. I guess I need to get used to the bamboo spoons for serving, but I'll probably just ruin my pans instead. Sigh....

The bamboo spoons are more of a stirring implement than a serving one. Have you tried the Chef's Tools spoon? It's great!

I would suggest the Nylon Spoon or Chef's Tool Spoon.
