Spoon is made out of metal. Changes the taste of honey.

You can buy them in every cutlery section in my country. But it’s kind of useless, I’m not sure why this is the design that is associated with honey. A spoon works better.

Really? How does that work? I’ve never heard that before

Honey is acidic with a pH of around 4, so it technically corrodes metal if left for prolonged contact.
Same reason it’s not recommended to use metal pots or utensil for curries, the metallic taste can leech into the food.

I make knives and I really want to let one sit in honey for a week to see if it gives it an acid wash.
I have other acids that work much quicker, but I’m having a bit of a giggle at making a pattern-welded steel butter knife and calling it my “Honey Knife”

Do people actually leave spoons or knifes in the honey? I just open the jar, scoop out what I need with my knife and spread it on my bread. And a lot of honey also comes in squeeze bottles, that way you can just squeeze it directly on the bread or waffle or whatever. But even with those I still use a knife to spread it around.
And most utensils are made from highly corrosion resistant materials right? As they get wet and exposed to all sorts of stuff all the time. And what about that Nilered video about the taste/smell of metal?

You can rotate this as it’s dripping to manage the flow due to grooves which you can’t do with a spoon.

And then many more dropa are stuck between the ridges and get wasted.

No more than you wash off a spoon.
The dipper is meant to stay in the honey pot, so you’re not wasting any, except maybe the last time you use it, or if you’re pointlessly cleaning it each time.

I’m very confused, can’t you just leave a spoon in the honeypot as well? Like, I’ve literally done this before, dipped a spoon in to our honey jar, spun it around to keep it from dripping, put the amount I wanted in my cup of tea, and put the spoon back in the jar. But usually I just get whatever amount I want on my spoon and then I stir my tea with it. It gets 100% of the honey off, I get to stir my tea to mix the honey in, and I get the exact amount I want, no guessing needed.
I mean if you like the dipper then you go for it, but I don’t really see the advantage here, even with usability, maybe just a tad easier to spin.

You put it back in the pot of honey, the thing is supposed ot perpetually sit in honey pot.
I don’t like it either, just explaining how it’s supposed to work.

Put it back in the honeypot…

So you need to put it in a special pot every time?Honey is sold in jars and they don’t have a cutout for it.
Unless you just leave it open for flies.
