We generally don’t pay much attention to the different spoon types and utilities. If we were given a normal spoon that we have at homes, we’d eat almost anything with it from fruits to main course to desserts. But there’s quite a variety of them.
For the time being, we’re introducing to only 6 types of spoons, which are as follows:
Demitasse Spoon:
A very small spoon, even smaller than a teaspoon. This tiny spoon is used to often in coffee drinks for spooning froth.
Grapefruit Spoon:
Serrated from the front edge, similar to a teaspoon, grapefruit spoon helps in separating its flesh from the rind. Also called orange spoon, it is used for other citrus fruits like kiwi, melons or even mangoes.
Teaspoon:
It is a small spoon, generally used to stir the content of tea and coffee. Also a teaspoon is used as a unit of measure, while cooking and is abbreviated as tsp.
Table Spoon:
Bigger than a teaspoon, table spoon is used in serving. Like teaspoon, it is also used as a unit of measure, while preparing a recipe and is abbreviated as tb, tbs, tbsp, tblsp or tblspn.
Soup Spoon:
As the name suggests, these spoons are used when eating soups or stews. The soup bowls are large, deep and circular, so these thick handled, deep and extending spoons go down till the base easily. Also with typically higher sides, these hold the liquid and other ingredients of the soup well.
Bouillon (or broth) Spoon:
It is a spoon with a rounded spoon head, though smaller than a soup spoon but is used for light meals like clear soups.
