What makes cooking with a wooden spoon so great?
One of the most important tools you can have in your kitchen is a wooden spoon. And I recommend you have more than one. Why a wooden spoon?
The feel for one. There's nothing like stirring a sauce or sautéing veggies with a wooden spoon in your hand. I'm sure there are scientific reasons wooden spoons are still popular with professional chefs, but for me it's all how they feel.
I have a friend who is a professional chef and he uses the same spoon every time he makes his tomato sauce. He tells me the flavors become part of the spoon and add to the taste of his sauce.
