I tried the large wooden spoon by OXO for my new pots and pans. They are nonstick pans and if you use metal, they scratch the surface off the pots and pans and then everything sticks to the surface. With this spoon, you can stir anything without worrying about destroying your pots and pans. The spoon is made from high quality wood and is extra thick so you don't have to worry about it breaking during use. I highly recommend the Large Wooden Spoon from OXO.
