So we were sold this pile of poison, and our suggested recourse is… buy more bullshit?
If you need a spatula, you need a spatula. It'd be best to get a metal one second hand, but unless you carve one from a hunk of wood or get one from a friend or family, you'll have to buy one somehow. Best to get one that is durable and innert, like stainless steel. America's test kitchen does a good video on them if you're a nerd like me :)
Wood is good for non-stick pans, I think. And so far wood has not tried to kill us yet, unless you make it too pointy and do the 'ol sliparoo in the kitchen and fall on thine spatula.
Woodworker here, y'all want me to cave some for ya out of hunks of wood?
That would unironically be kinda rad. The local woodsmith of Lemmy! 😄
No no, just buy the correct thing that should have been purchased in the first place. Stainless steel. Safe inert and lasts forever. I always hated plastic utensils now I have a justification from my hatred
