#utensils

Back in 2018, I made this very handy mini egg-flip. And for what it was designed to do (flip eggs, move biscuits off trays, etc) it excelled.
However, youngest child has been using it to fry steaks and pressing down on the steak in the process, so the thin shank glued in to a turned wooden handle was a weak point. The wood broke.

Rather than just make another handle with the same problem, I set about fixing the attachment point.

I took some engineering grade stainless bar, and forged down a small part of it and formed a cone, then welded that to the egg-flip shank. The existing wooden handle fits inside beautifully. I'm now waiting for the epoxy holding it in there to set before it can go back in service.

A round bar of silver looking engineering grade stainless steel (salvaged material) about as thick as my finger.
Finished egg-flip with cone ferule and wooden handle inserted. Front view. The flipper end is about as big as my palm, the cone is welded on at the point of the bend in the original shank.
Back of the cone, showing the seam. This is not welded shut as there is no need, it isn't under that much stress and the wood is epoxied in place anyway.

Butter Knife or Spoon @tamski.bsky.social ?

I helped cooks make trays of sandwiches & they buttered with a spoon, not a knife. It's fast, easier spread, & a good measure for the amount of spread you choose.

SO, do you use a spoon or a butter knife

Explain your reasoning?

As I rediscover #cooking for myself, I feel #grateful every day for the #utensils I inherited from my grandmother, an amazing cook, from my mother who couldn't boil water to save her life but liked a well stocked #kitchen, and as gifts from boyfriends past

The stories of these items tell my whole #history except for a Oaxacan bowl bought on one of my first solo adventures, a shot glass from my Dad and a few etcs

I can make any #food with what you see here. It's a #source of power and #joy for me #JoinIn
