Why would you use a wooden spoon to stir boiling water?
You shouldn't use a wooden spoon to stir boiling water. Here's why:
* Wood is porous: Wood can absorb water, and boiling water can seep into the wood's pores. This can lead to bacteria growth and make the spoon unsafe to use in the future.
* Wood can warp: The heat from boiling water can cause wood to warp or crack, especially if the spoon isn't properly seasoned.
* Risk of burning: While wood is a good insulator, it can still get hot enough to burn you if you're not careful.
Instead, use a heat-resistant utensil like a metal spoon or spatula for stirring boiling water.
