An unlikely cooking spoon

These have become the most used cooking spoons in the kitchen. I say it is unlikely, because they were made for the sole purpose of reaching the last bit of peanut butter or miracle whip in the bottom of the jar, without soiling hands in the process. And, they are not spoons. But, they are thin and light and plentiful. It turns out they are really good for stirring sauces, and the point is perfect for reaching into corners of saucepans while the heat is on, and scraping it all out when it is done. They are not any good at serving, although we have tried (it keeps portions small).
These are also easy projects, as you may imagine. Some of these are made of cherry, and I made some others of maple, but most are made from 1/4 inch thick poplar straight from the home store.

We have one of those that you cut out when you were down here last. We have only used it for spreading peanut butter. Maybe I will try it for cooking.
