KitchenAid Cooking Spoon Charcoal Grey
This cooking spoon from KitchenAid combines the functionality needed for everyday cooking with materials that protect your cookware. The 34cm length provides comfortable reach for stirring deep pots whilst keeping hands at a safe distance from heat, whilst the oversized nylon head offers ample capacity for scooping, stirring, and serving a wide range of dishes.
The deep bowl design makes this spoon particularly versatile for liquid-based cooking tasks. Use it to stir sauces without splashing, scoop soups and stews from pot to bowl, mix pasta with sauce, serve casseroles, fold ingredients together, or taste-test dishes during cooking. The curved bowl holds generous portions whilst the rounded edges reach into pot corners and curved surfaces effectively, ensuring thorough stirring and scraping.
Nylon construction offers specific advantages for kitchen use. The material withstands temperatures up to 232°C, covering most stovetop cooking tasks, whilst remaining soft enough not to scratch non-stick coatings. This makes the spoon safe for use with Teflon, ceramic, and other non-stick surfaces where metal utensils would cause damage. The charcoal grey colour offers a professional appearance that complements most kitchen aesthetics whilst showing fewer stains than lighter colours.
The ergonomic ABS handle features a debossed KitchenAid logo and provides comfortable grip during use. The handle's balance and shape reduce hand fatigue during extended stirring sessions, whilst the integrated hanging loop allows for convenient storage on utensil racks or hooks. At 116g, the spoon offers sufficient weight for controlled stirring without feeling cumbersome.
Key features include:
- Oversized spoon head: Approximately 7cm wide and 6cm deep for ample capacity when stirring, mixing, and serving
- Heat resistance: Nylon head withstands temperatures up to 232°C (450°F)
- Non-stick safe: Soft nylon won't scratch or damage non-stick coatings
- 34cm total length: Comfortable reach for deep pots with safe distance from heat sources

- Lifetime guarantee: KitchenAid backs this spoon with lifetime coverage against manufacturing defects
Particularly useful for stirring sauces, soups, and stews, serving risotto, mixing pasta with sauce, folding ingredients, scooping chilli or curry, serving casseroles, and taste-testing dishes. The solid bowl holds liquids and solids together, making it ideal for serving generous portions directly from pot to plate or bowl. Also effective for combining ingredients in mixing bowls, folding batters, or stirring porridge and other breakfast dishes.
What Customers Ask About the KitchenAid Cooking Spoon
Is this safe for non-stick pans?
Yes, the nylon head is specifically designed to be safe for all non-stick cookware. Nylon is softer than metal and won't scratch or damage non-stick coatings, making this spoon suitable for use with Teflon, ceramic, and other non-stick surfaces.
What temperature can this withstand?
The nylon head is heat resistant up to 232°C (450°F). This covers most everyday cooking tasks including stirring sauces, soups, and stews. Avoid leaving the spoon resting in extremely hot pots for extended periods, and don't use it with temperatures exceeding 232°C.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
Yes, this cooking spoon is dishwasher safe. Place it on the top rack for best results. The nylon head and ABS handle are designed to withstand regular dishwasher cycles without warping or degrading.
Will this melt if left in a hot pot?
The nylon is heat resistant to 232°C, which covers most cooking temperatures. However, avoid leaving the spoon resting in very hot pots for extended periods, especially if the contents exceed the heat resistance threshold. Use the hanging loop to store the spoon when not actively stirring.
What's the difference between a cooking spoon and a slotted spoon?
A cooking spoon has a solid bowl that holds liquids and foods together, making it ideal for stirring, mixing, and serving soups, stews, sauces, and similar dishes. A slotted spoon has perforations that allow liquid to drain away, useful for removing solid items from cooking liquid.
Can I use this for serving as well as cooking?
Yes, the cooking spoon works for both cooking and serving. Use it to stir sauces and soups during cooking, then serve directly from pot to plate or bowl. The oversized head provides good capacity for generous portions.
Does the charcoal grey colour stain easily?
The charcoal grey colour is relatively forgiving with stains compared to white utensils. However, highly pigmented foods like turmeric or tomato-based sauces may cause some discolouration over time with repeated use. Regular washing helps minimise staining.
What does the lifetime guarantee cover?
KitchenAid provides a lifetime guarantee covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. This reflects the quality of construction and materials. The guarantee does not cover normal wear and tear, damage from misuse, or using the spoon beyond its heat resistance limits.

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Wash the spoon in warm soapy water or run through the dishwasher to remove any manufacturing residue. Dry thoroughly before storing.
During cooking: Use the spoon for stirring sauces, soups, stews, and similar dishes. The nylon head moves smoothly through liquids without scratching non-stick surfaces. The deep bowl allows you to scoop and serve generous portions. Avoid leaving the spoon resting in very hot pots for extended periods - either hold it whilst stirring or rest it on a spoon rest.
Temperature limits: The nylon is heat resistant to 232°C (450°F). This covers stirring sauces, soups, stews, and most stovetop tasks. Do not use the spoon in ovens, under grills, or with temperatures exceeding 232°C. Avoid direct contact with open flames or placing the spoon directly on hot cooker surfaces.
Dishwasher cleaning: Place the spoon on the top rack of your dishwasher. Use standard dishwasher tablets and normal wash cycles. The nylon and ABS materials withstand regular dishwasher use without warping or degrading.
Hand washing: Wash in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or sponge. Pay attention to the bowl where food residue may accumulate. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or scouring pads which may scratch the surface, though this won't affect functionality.
Removing stains: Nylon can absorb colours from highly pigmented foods. For stubborn stains, soak the spoon head in a solution of warm water and baking soda for 30 minutes, then wash normally. Some discolouration over time is normal and doesn't affect performance.
Storage: Use the integrated hanging loop to store the spoon on utensil racks, hooks, or bars. This keeps it accessible whilst saving drawer space. Alternatively, store in a utensil crock or drawer organiser with other cooking utensils.
What to avoid: Don't use the spoon as a prying tool or for scraping burnt-on food from pots - this may damage the bowl edges. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat beyond the 232°C limit. Don't use the spoon to cut or chop ingredients.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've used it and don't like it?
Return it anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items - if it doesn't do what you wanted, we'll refund you. This applies even after you've used it.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally damage this spoon, we'll replace it at half price with proof of purchase and evidence of damage. Photos of the damage are acceptable.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses can take up to 7 working days, but is usually 3-4, and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
Will this work with cast iron pots?
Yes, the nylon head is safe for cast iron cookware. However, cast iron typically reaches very high temperatures, so monitor the heat to ensure you stay within the 232°C limit. The nylon won't scratch seasoned cast iron surfaces.
Can I use this for baking or mixing?
Yes, the cooking spoon works well for folding batters, mixing dry and wet ingredients in bowls, and stirring porridge or other breakfast dishes. However, dedicated baking spoons or spatulas with flexible edges may be more effective for scraping bowl sides during baking.
