No need to use metal utensils for mixing, don't you own any wooden
spoons... if not you can always wear earplugs! LOL I can't remember
the last time I used a metal spoon for mixing anything in any bowl,
usually a wooden spoon, sometimes a plastic spoon, and often one of
those sillycone spatulas. And when a metal bowl contains liquid, and
especially batter, even with a metal spoon the sound is deadened.
