Some stirring choices

Amco’s stainless steel and nylon kitchen spoons are 13 inches long and come in both slotted and regular ($6). They combine the best of two features: sturdy stainless steel handles and generously sized nylon-coated bowls, which will not scratch your nonstick pans and will withstand heat up to 400 degrees. That means no melted edges from stirring something hot. A hybrid you can depend on.
