… Mimi Sheraton: “Are we going to measure or are we going to cook?”
These are, as best I can tell, for someone either truly anal or truly lacking confidence in their own cooking skills.
I have no idea what to say about a spoon that changes color if the liquid it’s dipped into is hot…and it’s only safe to use in temperatures up to 250°F.
The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.
- Horace Walpole

"I have a few other dislikes, but not many. I don’t want salt sprinkled on my desserts, even high-minded pink sea salt from some Hawaiian coast. I don’t enjoy marshmallows snipped off tableside; it’s way too French. Of course, marshmallows roasted over a campfire are exquisite, the only dessert that should be served searing hot. (That’s the second great lesson I learned in the Cub Scouts.) I particularly dislike the custom of plopping cold ice cream in the center of hot soufflés, a perverse practice that ruins two desserts at once. I never cared much for Chuckles as a kid, and I don’t go for gelées now. That’s never going to change." - Alan Richman, GQ

you know those spoons are made for parents incapable of testing food for their children, right?

In that case, all I have to say is that any parent who can’t tell if food is hot (especially right out of that microwave in the background), shouldn’t be allowed to have children.

i agree. i’d never stick some food in my kid’s mouth without trying it myself first. same thing goes for thermometers for bathtubs.
