Kitchen Tools: Wooden Spoons

All our stirring and braising this past weekend, as well as the recent roundup of favorite kitchen tools reminded us of how much we love our plain wooden spoons. For all the silicone gadgets and devices cluttering the utensil jar, the humble wooden spoon is the one we reach for first to stir the pot.

We like these Beechwood Spoons ($3.95 or $4.95, Crate & Barrel). They look sturdy. We also like this tasting spoon ($10, Red Bird Crafts), with a channel to cool your soup before you burn your lips.
