Try it before you dismiss it, that’s all I’m saying!
Edit: I have found my people.
Yeah, you’re probably right about this, though I use knives to spread things because I hardly ever use the knives and I don’t want to get a spoon dirty just for that
I don’t have much silverware
Interesting thought.
I use a butter spreader for butter, but a spoon for jam/jelly. I don’t think I would like the spoon for butter myself, but it’s neat to see other people who use spoons to spread condiments.
What on earth is a butter spreader? If someone’s invented a device even better than the spoon, I’m in!
You guys don’t just grab the stick of butter and rub it into the bread like a glue stick?
I do that with toast sometimes. The problem I run into is the butter temp has to be just right to both not mush out and over butter, or be too hard and rip the bread
I’ll be the person that disagrees, at least under certain conditions. Spreading with a spoon it’s impossible to spread all the stuff leaving none stuck on the spoon. With a knife that’s possible so unless the area is large enough that the overhead becomes small knife makes more sense. Consistency of the spread also matters, if it’s sticky or hard once again a knife is easier for the job
I admit it can be situational, for example I still use a knife for peanut butter just because it’s annoying to try and get a spoon into the jar. But I’d argue your first point is what the kids these days refer to as a “skill issue” 😉
Mayo, etc. I use a big tablespoon.
Your opinion is popular with me.
100% true. This is especially the case when spreading dipping sauce on your pizza. Knifes just suck at this. Spoons rock.
Spreading… dipping sauce…? Interesting break from normality.
So you’re cutting the butter with the spoon, too, I assume? Do you not refrigerate your butter?
Not being critical. Legit curious
spreading it, maybe. But getting that butter onto the correct (convex) side of the spoon in the first place is way more difficult and basically fucks whatever advantage the spreading might provide.
Convex surfaces (ie. the back of a spoon) don’t scoop. It just slides across the top of the butter. In order to load up the butter on the spoon, you need to scoop it with the other side and then what…use a finger to move it to the back so it can be spread?
Ridiculous.
That would be ridiculous. Luckily you’re imagining scooping it up as being way more complicated than it actually is :D
