The Different Types of Spoons

The Different Types of Spoons

There is a spoon for every situation and situation for every spoon. That’s a saying right? OK, it is now. Flatware never fails to find a way. How about that one? Cutlery can do it? No, ok, we give up.

But there are different spoons for different needs and the fine folks at Architectural Digest wrote this amazing article about nine different types of spoon and what they are used for. I’m sure there is more than nine, I counted 14 in my spoon box. But this is a great start.

They discuss the following spoons:

Dinner Spoon

Serving Spoon

Soup Spoon

Iced Beverage Spoon

Demitasse Spoon

Salad Spoon

Dessert Spoon

Amuse Bouche Spoon

Bar or Cocktail Spoon

So over the next nine posts here at The Cutlery Review we will be picking our favorite of each of these types of spoons. Come on back and learn more!

GSI Outdoors Glacier Stainless Kung Foon

GSI Outdoors Glacier Stainless Kung Foon Utensil

Come on! Kung Foon? That’s hilarious! The silly name for this camping cutlery is what initially caught our eye. But then at second glance it was the functionality that really caught us.

The GSI Outdoors Glacier Stainless Kung Foon Utensil is a spoon, fork and a set of chopsticks all in one easy to carry package. It’s compact size measures 10.7 x 1.9 x 0.9 inches. The Foon is made of stainless steel (supposedly there is a titanium version but we can’t find it) and the chopsticks are made of bamboo.

I guess you could call it flatpack flatware? The extension by the chopsticks make it great for reaching the bottom of freeze dried meal bags and tall pots.

Great for the backpack or purse for “Bring Your Own Cutlery“!

Homquen Black And Gold Spoons for Ice Tea or Coffee or…

Homquen Black And Gold Spoons

Spoons that are dedicated to dessert are some of the best spoons I know. These will also work just fine with that Ice Tea or Coffee but they scream for Ice Cream. This is the cold spoon, the gold spoon. Flatware for the finish of the meal.

Homquen Black And Gold Spoons are made of high quality stainless steel, plated with titanium gold, rust proof, lead-free, cadmium-free, phthalate-free, BPA-free durable and eco-friendly.

These 6.3″ pieces are in a set of six. This is a great price and good value.

They claim dishwasher safe but history shows that any plated cutlery should never go into the dishwasher no matter how safe you think it is. Even eco-friendly detergent will still cause issues.
