I don't know if you have found such a phenomenon: chefs who cook in restaurants usually use big spoons for cooking instead of spatulas that we often use at home. As we all know, when cooking at home, we usually use two kinds of cooking tools to cook, one is a spoon, and the other is a spatula. The spoon is mostly used to make some soup, while the spatula is used to stir-fry some foods such as cooking.

But when we watch some food programs, we will find that many chefs use a very long spoon instead of a spatula. Whether cooking or making soup, we use such a spoon to make it. Seeing this, all of us will definitely have a question, aren't these chefs' hands sour? As we can see from the video, those big spoons are usually made of metal with a long handle, and in the process of making food, the chef's arm needs to be constantly stir-fried, and the other arm has to constantly shake the iron pot, which makes people feel particularly tired.

why don't they use a spatula for cooking? The spatula is not only extremely light, but also effortless to use. In fact, there is a reason why chefs like to stir-fry with spoons. Because of the job requirements of chefs, they need to make food quickly and accurately, so they need to ensure that everything can be made quickly so as not to make diners anxious. Therefore, the benefits of the spoon are reflected at this time, because each dish needs different seasonings and different portions. If the chef uses a spatula, it is not easy to control the dosage when adding seasonings, and it is likely that a spatula is a big piece, which will be more time-consuming.

With the spoon, the chef can accurately grasp the dosage of seasoning, and it is convenient to add water and use ingredients when using the spoon in the process of making. Therefore, due to the need of work, chefs will prefer to use big spoons to cook dishes instead of spatulas.
