Spoons are one of the most common and essential eating utensils. They are used to eat liquid foods such as soups, cereals, and puddings. Their concave design allows them to easily hold and lift liquids and small pieces of food. In addition to eating, spoons also serve an important function in cooking and food preparation.
Many recipes rely on spoons as measuring tools, whether teaspoons or tablespoons, to ensure proper proportions of ingredients. Spoons are also used for mixing, stirring, and measuring ingredients during the cooking process, making them a versatile kitchen tool that aids in a variety of culinary techniques.
But not only that, it turns out that spoons also have other functions that are no less important, you know. A woman who owns the Instagram account @ummubalqishaura once shared another function of a spoon that people rarely know. Well, this spoon can make the cooking process faster and more practical because it can be used to process frozen food ingredients .

So the way, just put the frozen food into a bowl. Then pour water until the food is completely submerged. Once it is, put a stainless steel spoon into it and let it sit for a while.

Well, this spoon will speed up the defrosting process of food. In just a few minutes, food that was previously stuck to each other can be easily released. However, for maximum results, you can soak it again so that the texture becomes softer and easier to process.

Using a spoon to speed up the defrosting process on frozen food is a simple trick that often works. Spoons made of metals such as stainless steel or silver have high thermal conductivity.
This means that metal can absorb and transfer heat quickly. When a cold spoon is placed on frozen food, it quickly absorbs heat from the surrounding air and transfers it to the food, speeding up the thawing process.
The metal of the spoon also helps distribute heat more evenly across the surface of the food it comes into contact with. This helps defrost the food more quickly than if the food was simply left to thaw in the open air, where heat is not distributed as efficiently.
This video about the other function of spoons has been watched more than 1 million times on Instagram. It is no wonder that many other Instagram users also gave direct responses in the comments column. Most of them admitted that they were very helped by the video.
