Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life

  No more than you wash off a spoon.

  The dipper is meant to stay in the honey pot, so you’re not wasting any, except maybe the last time you use it, or if you’re pointlessly cleaning it each time.

    I’m very confused, can’t you just leave a spoon in the honeypot as well? Like, I’ve literally done this before, dipped a spoon in to our honey jar, spun it around to keep it from dripping, put the amount I wanted in my cup of tea, and put the spoon back in the jar. But usually I just get whatever amount I want on my spoon and then I stir my tea with it. It gets 100% of the honey off, I get to stir my tea to mix the honey in, and I get the exact amount I want, no guessing needed.

    I mean if you like the dipper then you go for it, but I don’t really see the advantage here, even with usability, maybe just a tad easier to spin.

      only if you’re using a wooden spoon. a metal spoon will leach its flavor into the honey

        Are you not using stainless? In what way is stainless going to leech?

  You put it back in the pot of honey, the thing is supposed ot perpetually sit in honey pot.

  I don’t like it either, just explaining how it’s supposed to work.
