Cuisinart Solid Spoon

Yes, the spoon is constructed from stainless steel and zinc-alloy, which are naturally heat-resistant materials. It is safe to use for stirring and serving hot dishes directly from the stovetop.

The spoon measures 16 inches in length. While it is longer than a standard dinner spoon, it fits comfortably in most standard kitchen utensil drawers and is designed to reach the bottom of deep serving bowls or stockpots.

Like all polished stainless steel, the finish may develop fine surface scratches over time with heavy use. However, the high-quality construction is designed to maintain its luster and resist corrosion through regular dishwasher cycles.

At 6.0 ounces, this spoon has a substantial, balanced weight that provides good leverage. It is sturdy enough to handle dense foods like mashed potatoes or thick stews without bending.

The hollow handle design is intended to stay cooler to the touch than a solid metal handle. However, if left resting inside a pot on a high-heat burner for an extended period, the metal may still conduct heat, so it is best to remove it when not actively serving.
