No more plastic…

For me, it's not so much the metal but whether it is smooth or polished vs. textured. The anodized Ti spoons have a textured surface that I find off-putting.

I use a Snow Peak ti spoon that has a smooth surface, came in a set with a fork which I never carry.

I have an MLD long Ti spoon.

Never noticed a taste but as the above poster mentioned there is a bit of a rough texture, which I actually like.

I feel like it holds onto food a bit better when I'm digging into a deep freezer bag, like a long metal cats' tongue ……………………… (long awkward pause).

I use anodized aluminum Sea to Summit spoon. Cut off the end to fit in my pot. 0.3 oz so it doesn't really matter if there's something a little lighter. Annodized is rough texture a bit but I don't mind. Pretty cheap if you want to try it.

I like this spoon. I have the long handle version because I eat out of freezer bags. It works great and not worth finding something lighter, I can save weight somewhere else.

+2 on the S2S aluminum. I also use the long-handled version, to get into FBC corners. Lighter than Ti, cheaper than Ti, and super strong.

Great, the anodized aluminum just might do the trick. If not I can try the ti options suggested. I may be one that would opt for the more polished finish. Any thing should be an upgrade from where Im at. Thanks for the advise given and any that follows.

what??? you put boiling water in plastic bags? it leaches out chemicals that mimic estrogen that will give you breast cancer and cause early puberty…

Ziplock disagrees..

long handle Ti spoon for me.

Polished Ti works for me.
No taste even with acidic foods.

I'm real happy with this Snow Peak Ti Spork. No flavor, smooth surface, light, indestructible.

Love my Bamboo spoon.

+1 on bamboo.
I used to use the S2S al spoon but found the bowl of the spoon a little small.

After years of dealing with spoons that weren't really spoons and forks that weren't really forks I had my welder daughter make me this! Brazed stainless.
1.4 oz and I love it.

There are lots of different plastics. Changed to an opaque polycarbonate a while back to cut weight. Haven't noticed any funny tastes.

Are there any spoons that are made from plastic that won't absorb taste, odor, or color?
