Can you put spoons in a OVEN?

It's generally not recommended to put spoons in an oven. Here's why:

* Material: Most spoons are made of materials like metal (stainless steel, aluminum, etc.) or plastic, which can melt or warp under high heat.

* Safety: Heating a spoon in the oven could cause it to become extremely hot, posing a burn risk.

* Purpose: Spoons are designed for eating and stirring, not for oven use.

However, there are some exceptions:

* Oven-safe spoons: Some specialty spoons, like those made from silicone or ceramic, are designed for oven use.

* Specific purposes: In some cases, spoons might be used in an oven for specific culinary purposes, such as stirring sauces in a slow cooker or using them as a makeshift spoon rest in the oven.

Bottom line: It's best to avoid putting spoons in the oven unless they are specifically designed for that purpose.
