Well, half the time I use my finger.

A little dip, taste, and sometimes a redip.

guido wop.

Is it really that much trouble to walk over to the sink and wash off a
spoon? When someone says they use the same spoon for stirring as for
tasting it makes me wonder about their other habits when it comes to
sanitation. Besides, whether it's sanitary or not, the COURTEOUS thing
to do would be to use a clean spoon.

Look at it this way. For the most part they are talking about tasting
things that are boiling on the stove. The spoon goes back into boiling hot
liquid. Given the choice between something that has been washed in hot
water and detergent, or boiling liquid, I'll take the boiling liquid.

Hey, "they" make cooking spoons specifically for tasting. You spoon up
sauce with the stirring end, tilt to spoon to transfer the sauce via a
trough (or whatever) to the tasting end. We're not talking a big buck item,
just a different type of wooden spoon.

And then all that slobber runs back when you tilt the spoon forward.
Yuck! ;-)

I just think it's silly for a loved one/lover/relative to get all upset
about sticking a spoon back into the pot when for years, they've been
french kissing, and/or washing their face with the same bar of soap
someone else just washed their bottom with. LOL

No need to pour anything out onto plates and cups. You're tasting,
not eating. Take some sauce with The Mother Spoon and pour onto a
smaller spoon. Taste. Discard smaller spoon into sink or trash, and
carry on merrily stirring with The Mother.

If you're the only one eating what you're cooking then that's fine, but
I don't want to eat something that has somebody else's spit in it.

Boiling does not kill all germs. Furthermore, some pathogens require
several minutes, if not hours, of vigorous boiling in order to be
destroyed.

If they'll slobber on the spoon while you are watching, just *imagine*
what they do with it when nobody is looking! HTH :-)

This weird obsession with germs is so bizarre. The world is full of germs,
most harmless, some beneficial, a few potentially harmful. Most of the
harmful ones are all around us, we are exposed to them regularly. Whether or
not they make us sick is almost always a function of the immune system and
other factors and has nothing to do with being exposed or not.

These people who are so afraid of eating something with "someone's spit" in
it - you have my pity, going through life without ever kissing someone you
love. Golly they might have GERMS! Pinheads.

Loogie? I fear my education is lacking. What on earth is a loogie? Sounds

Well, _does_ the mere act of tasting change the flavour of the sauce
(indepent on the clean/used-state of the spoon) ?

Well, some of my physicist friends say yes and some of my chef friends
