You can buy them in every cutlery section in my country. But it's kind of useless, I'm not sure why this is the design that is associated with honey. A spoon works better.

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 34 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You can rotate this as it's dripping to manage the flow due to the grooves which you can't do with a spoon. It's for when you only want a few drops at a time or a reasonably uniform drizzle.

[-] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

And then many more drops are stuck between the ridges and get wasted.

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 29 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

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.

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.

[-] Bigfish@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 1 month ago

Put it back in the honeypot..

[-] TimeNaan@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

So you need to put it in a special pot every time?Honey is sold in jars and they don't have a cutout for it.

Unless you just leave it open for flies.

[-] SpermHowitzer@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

No, a proper honeypot has a lid with a little notch at the edge to accommodate the honey …thing…? I dunno, I’ve used them a lot but I don’t know what they’re called.

[-] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So every time you open a jar of honey you have to pour it into a special honeypot which has the correct lid.

So even more wasted honey gets left behind in the jar you bought it in.

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

No more than would be wasted when you finish that jar anyway. Nobody is getting all the honey out. Gravity will do all it can and the wastage is minimal.

[-] Gray_Warden@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

My guy bout to start a legal non-profit to pursue and convict honey abusers.

“No honey left behind. Every drop needs a home. We stole it from the bees, but I’ll be damned if I let the flies have it next!”

But I've heard you can catch more with honey then vinegar.

[-] edwardbear@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Spoon is made out of metal. Changes the taste of honey.

[-] Thorry@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

Really? How does that work? I've never heard that before

[-] Meron35@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Honey is acidic with a pH of around 4, so it technically corrodes metal if left for prolonged contact.

Same reason it's not recommended to use metal pots or utensil for curries, the metallic taste can leech into the food.

I make knives and I really want to let one sit in honey for a week to see if it gives it an acid wash.

I have other acids that work much quicker, but I'm having a bit of a giggle at making a pattern-welded steel butter knife and calling it my "Honey Knife"

[-] Thorry@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Do people actually leave spoons or knifes in the honey? I just open the jar, scoop out what I need with my knife and spread it on my bread. And a lot of honey also comes in squeeze bottles, that way you can just squeeze it directly on the bread or waffle or whatever. But even with those I still use a knife to spread it around.

And most utensils are made from highly corrosion resistant materials right? As they get wet and exposed to all sorts of stuff all the time. And what about that Nilered video about the taste/smell of metal?
