Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life

  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.

      only if you’re using a wooden spoon. a metal spoon will leach its flavor into the honey

        Are you not using stainless? In what way is stainless going to leech?

  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.

    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.

      No, a proper honeypot has a lid with a little notch at the edge to accommodate the honey …thing…? I dunno, I’ve used them a lot but I don’t know what they’re called.

        Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. So every time you open a jar of honey you have to pour it into a special honeypot which has the correct lid.

        So even more wasted honey gets left behind in the jar you bought it in.

        I’ve always called them honey dippers, or just a dipper.

        Not that I own one but have used one, the people who do own then know exactly what I meant.

        Funnily enough I have no idea what the people who had then that ib used call them

        But I’ve heard you can catch more with honey then vinegar.
