It makes it looks like you're receiving the honey fresh from a giant bee's asshole.

I just get my honey in the little squeezy bears

>>18931562
To show off to credulous girls

>>18931562
You're supposed to rotate it to keep the honey in the grooves. Stop rotating to let the honey drip and then start again when you're done dripping

>>18931562
It has more control over the honey than a spoon. It can allow you to evenly trickle the honey, a spoon can have the honey drip off in a big blob

>>18931621
Just the right shape ;-)

>>18931629
I am troubled by the smiley in this comment

>>18931621
In that case the honey stick is acceptable because it's part of a set comes with a tight fitting lid so you don't have to clean a fucking huge surface area every time and waste a shitload of honey every time. (Though in my case I waste nothing, because i have a savory pot and sweets pot where i briefly soak respective serving utensils prior to washing to get out the bulk of loose stuff. Then I use that bit of water in the savory pot for stock or boiling or whatever, and the water in the sweets to add to pancake batter or oatmeal.)

>>18931653
>Then I use that bit of water in the savory pot for stock or boiling or whatever, and the water in the sweets to add to pancake batter or oatmeal
What the fuck

>>18931655
You have no concept of a no-waste kitchen. You use the water the day-of and/or add it to refrigerated or frozen stock right away. It's silly to be dipping spoons into honey, jam, etc jars all the time and then washing off all that sticky stuff every time -- not to mention that if you use a dishwasher run infrequently, the sugary residue can easily build up smells.

Sorry if these concepts offend you.

>>18931629
Want to use it on me? ;-)

>>18931698
To be fair, a good water treatment program can be relatively environmentally friendly with the exception of greenhouse gas emissions, which are kind of unavoidable with the biological processes used (they'd be roughly equivalent if you put the food waste into a backyard compost heap, for example). (Regardless, at the end of the day both wastewater treatment and composting are at net, including opportunity costs of emissions, far far better for the environment than some form of mass dumping or sealed landfills as they are now).

That said, I take any opportunity to add every little scrap to my stock, almost obsessively.

>>18931725
There are way too many people who are utter shit at licking utensils and especially, for example, mixing bowls clean. This bit of advice was more addressed toward them.

>>18931653
>(Though in my case I waste nothing, because i have a savory pot and sweets pot where i briefly soak respective serving utensils prior to washing to get out the bulk of loose stuff.

Oh god I think I'm going to puke, this is the most grotesque thing I've seen on /ck/ since the first jack post.

>>18931749
We got one guy saying to lick the spoon, and you saying it's grotesque to use a bit of water to get the jam off the spoon and add that within the same day to batter or cereal, something that you often mix both water and jam to anyway. Are you this hypersensitive about everything?

>>18931771
>Putting water in cereal

as far as humans are concerned, honey is nutritionally identical to high fructose corn syrup, or any refined sugar. Eat some dates, fatties.

>>18931795
Not just water but dirty dishwater cross contaminated with different meats and sauces, the raw scraps and blood from sliced meat. A literal sea of various bacteria and molds joyfully multiplying in the toxic sludge.
Europeans really do live differently.

>>18931621
Neat

>>18931653
You should stop doing that, anon.

>>18931730
Who gives a shit if she gives the cat taxoplasmosis?

>>18931837
Where did it say I used material from raw meat? The only thing that was specifically mentioned was utensils used to scoop ingredients from jars, which are sterile when sealed to maximize shelf life, as well as stuck scraps on clean utensils that one would be comfortable to eat as-is normally.
>>18931795
I said oatmeal. Oatmeal is a (hot) cereal. Cream of wheat is a cereal. Grits are a cereal. I generalized for regional preferences, you fucking moron.

>>18931918
>putting water in hot cereal

>>18931868
What is legitimately wrong with this process? Please point out the culinary mistake being made. How is it different from, for example, the way people continuously build up their general frozen stocks that they add their own mixes of herbs to (as opposed to straight chicken stock or beef stock or whatever for specific recipes)?
>>18931930
How the fuck else do you make hot cereal? Read the fucking instructions. Yes, I've boiled hot cereal in milk -- that's a shitload of milk = a shitload of money to use daily, so I typically use a mix.of milk and water on the boil, and then add a bit of cream to taste at the end.

>>18931941
I use whole milk. I also don't eat hot cereal daily, because I don't want to be farding all day

>>18931941
Why are europeans so poor they can't even afford a little bit of milk? Don't they all live on farms and have access to cows?
Is this a common practice in your country? Do you have communal gatherings in your village when you dump all of your trash into a giant caldron and the local witch uses it to brew her magic spells?

Don't make fun of poor people

>>18932008
I would rather die with dignity than cook with my dishwater.

>>18931723

>>18931992
Just because I can afford milk, or even grass fed organic massaged-by-supermodel wagyu milk with electrolytes, doesn't mean it makes my cereal so unbelievably more awesome that I want to use it every day. Gen Z splurges on every little thing and goes deep into debt where just a little bit of common sense and evaluating what is worth the luxury and what stays mostly hidden will make the luxuries even better.

You might understand this when you're an adult. Or once you're so deep in debt you have to beg to your parents who finally get the balls to say "no".

>>18932015
We all would eat raw rats to survive if we had to

>>18932020
Ah the... catalyst of so many bankruptcies...the spiralling addiction to the luxury...of milk for breakfast

>>18932031
Europeans can't even afford ice for their water. I feel bad for them really.

>>18931653
Interesting. If you make something like a casserole or lasagna, do you soak the baking dish and add that water to the savoury pot?

>>18931562
Because it's considerably more useful than a spoon for the task for which it was designed perhaps?

>>18932031
Speaking in generalities about the importance of general thrift and budgeting is obviously lost on you. The generation gap in this respect that I reference is, however, something that people who pay attention to the current economics and markets for any reason are aware of. Perhaps you should give it some attention too.

>>18932046
Depending on what was cooked there's probably nothing left that can reasonably be infused into stock or boiling water, but if within a day or so you'll need some liquid to deglaze a pan that's mixing compatible flavors, then there's no reason you can't have a significant amount of that stuff scraped down and refrigerated.

I'm not saying this is something I do religiously, and this is really getting off topic from OP's post, which was the whole point of this, which is that with a giant fucking utensil with a huge amount of surface area covered with honey I would never simply start scrubbing that with soap and water as soon as I'm done using it -- I'd figure out a way to get that half tablespoon or so of honey left on that thing into something useful.

here, fixed that for you attention whore.

>>18932246
Nah, the OP was answerable in a single post, this is actually an interesting sub topic.

>>18932295
Holy shit it's identical, you're just skipping the whole point, which is to make sure there's nothing left over on the fucking utensil.

It's a simple concept: a utensil with a lot of surface area means a lot of area that something like honey will stick do. If you're making something (like a sauce) later that needs some liquid sweetener anyway, you can use water to remove all the excess honey from the utensil (or analogous sticky substance for analogous applicable food) because the honey dissolves easily in water. Thus you get virtually zero wasted honey and an easily cleaned utensil. This should not be fucking controversial, yet everybody is hung up on the idea that as soon as water touches something it becomes "dishwater" like a bunch of fucking 5-year-olds.

>>18931595

Think Bee Vomit.

nice dildo bro

>>18932544
Normal people don't throw their dishes into a pot and then turn around and use that water to cook with. That is high spectrum autism, of course you'll be made fun of for it on 4chan. If you want updoots and cheers for being quirky go tell reddit about it.

>>18932544
how do your friends and colleagues react when you tell them about this? A polite smile?

They cluck and bark.

bro water that was soaking in a dirty pot is not "stock" please bro no

>>18931653
Is this the fabled perpetual stew I keep hearing about? Has someone finally managed to pull it off?

>>18932557
Use a spoon to scoop bouillon powder or miso paste or something into water for some soup. Do you then use the same spoon to stir it in (presuming you weren't already stirring the water), or wash it and then get a new spoon to start stirring? It's the same fucking concept you smoothbrain simpletons.

>>18931723
Thanks, I just punched myself in the gut for remembering I kissed a stray cat to impress my crush (she wasnt impressed).

>>18932669
That's not even close to the same thing and you're seething because you know how strange and fucked up it is. Your friends and family are too polite to say anything in front of your face but you creep them out.

>>18931653
You're a fucking genius anon, your stomach must be either crumbling or iron.

>>18931595
anon, you've been harvesting their venom

>>18932676
Aside from a single step in between in which water in a bowl removes the excess stuff from the spoon, and then refrigerate until use within the next day (such as to boiling for a soup), it's the exact same concept. You're all hung up on that in-between step for some reason. It's a clean bowl. It's clean water. The spoon was previously dipped into jarred food that was processed and sterilized.
>>18932667
I may have used the wrong word in the initial post. The pot is obviously for when you cook. You take whatever excess you have and put it in a bowl, tupperware, whatever, for later, or if it's suitable to add to the stock you have in the freezer, you take what you put in a bowl and add it to that, like you would extra vegetables or herb stems or something. And I don't know why you're imagining that this stuff is in some bath soaking for hours -- it takes two seconds with a tiny bit of water to get something like honey or jam off.

>>18932714
Do you ever cook for other people? Are they eating this enhanced food?

>>18932714
You know what, you've changed my mind. I doubt I'm gonna bother keeping a little glass in the fridge with dirty spoons, but it's fundamentally no different from filling an emptied can of tomatoes with water and adding that watery tomato broth to a dish.

Bees that are farmed are almost always going to build their comb, on plastic sheets.

>>18931562
Using a honey stick instead of a spoon is a great way to get the sweetness of honey without having to worry about it spilling or getting sticky everywhere. It also makes it easier to measure how much honey you're adding to your beverage or food, as the markings on the stick will give you a better indication of how much you're adding. Plus, it's just a lot more fun to use a honey stick than a spoon, so why not give it a try?

>>18931653
It took me a second to even understand what you were saying. That's gross. That's literally just "dish water"

>>18931653
Ok anon, I have a clarification question for you.
When I read your post it sounds as if you have two pots of water sitting near your sink that you wash your utensils in until you decide to use that water for something. Is that the case?
Say you make some toast in the morning and use a bit of jam on the toast. Do you then rinse the knife in the sweets pot to get the jam off and then store the pot for later until you need it, or do you use the water shortly thereafter?
I think part of the hang up everyone is having is that it sounds like you're rinsing shit off in these pots and then storing them for periods of time before they get sufficiently filled with rinsed off debris.

>>18931562
As a kid I never understood why this shit was used in all commercials because most of the honey I've ever eaten was after it crystallised into an opaque state you eat with a spoon that doesn't drip at all.
