“You have to ban this from your kitchen”: Philippe Etchebest advises against using a kitchen utensil

This is an accessory that we use every day: a large stirring spoon. “This is used to stir, to scrape without damaging and even to taste”explains the chef in the video, as reported by Women’s Journal. But, if this utensil is essential for many things, it is essential to choose it carefully, to avoid health risks.

Indeed, the stirring spoon must absolutely be…. wooden! Yes, if you use plastic spoons, for example, you should get rid of them quickly. “Above all, don’t get the wrong material”specifies chef Etchebest. “Avoid anything made of plastic or bamboo. In the heat, these can deteriorate.”

In fact, when it comes into contact with hot food, plastic will degrade. Result ? We end up ingesting products that are harmful to our health. Moreover, a recent study pointed out black plastic utensils, which contain flame retardants, neurotoxic and potentially carcinogenic substances.

In addition, the wooden spoon is less expensive to purchase and will allow you to avoid scratching your pans and saucepans. Wood also does not conduct heat. So, it’s better to opt for a good old wooden spoon!
