You could have a stirring spoon and a tasting spoon, I suppose. Just
make sure not to get them mixed up. I've forgotten which was which
before though, and have stirred sauces with a tasting spoon and vice
versa with no adverse effect on the food, and with no one else the
wiser. If anyone objects to the way I cook, I tell them to feel free to
take over. =o)
