Mostly with a large plastic set; it's not great, but I bought them so I use them. BUT the main large spoon has gone missing -- I think my wife might have thrown it in the trash in one of her memory-loss moments -- so I may eventually buy a new set and those will be metal. As to wood, I never feel comfortable using wooden utensils because I worry that they're porous and soaking up who knows what germs, bacteria, etc.

Always only wooden. I was taught to never go with anything metal into all pans and some pots. I use plastic ladles but I wouldn't cook with anything plastic out of fear that they'd release something into my food or simply that they weren't suited for such high temperatures. Equally I never reheat any leftovers in plastic boxes now. I did in past and some got deformed or got stained by sauces.

Plastic and some wooden, because we mostly use non-stick (PFAS-free) pans that we carefully hand wash.

BTW, I'm curious about peoples' experience with ceramic non-stick. Four or so years ago, as an experiment, I got a 6 or 7 inch non stick frying pan for our sons to cook their morning eggs. And I told them: don't treat it special; wash it or dishwasher and let's see how it lasts. And the non-stick behavior didn't last more than maybe four months of rough use. Other brands might be better; newer materials might be better; I'm curious.

I use all three. Trying to adjust to wood for my cast iron pans. The relative thickness is giving me problems. I flip eggs much better with a thin plastic utensil. If I don't jump the gun, wood works well on pancakes. I mostly use metal utensils with stainless steel pots and pans.

Primarily metal. My pots and pans are stainless steel, nothing else: a basic set that has lasted since I left home when I was 18. For sauces that could catch, I use a small bain marie and a wooden spoon. For the rest, just water or light olive oil, sometimes both, and stainless steel utensils. I once tried a silicon spatula, but found it heavy and harder to use deftly. It went to a thrift shop.

I'm wondering what are the dishes you most love to cook, Bijoux?

I dont trust wood, because it's porous think it's going to absorb stuff. Don't like metal because it scratches my pans.

Silicon all the way, won't scratch and won't absorb.

Makes me think of the day my wife -- when her dementia was first manifesting and we weren't really aware yet -- took a large Rubbermaid plastic container, decided it was a new baking dish, and stuck it in the oven. When I found it it had melted into something that would have looked right in place in Dali's "Persistence of Memory".

Wooden and metal. I make my own out of copper pipe



I thought id try baking on sone oil and i applied too much at once. I thought it would look cool and it makes them non-stick

That weird looking spoon with the claw and ball look is an ice cream scoop. I had to replace the bowl of the scoop when it wore too thin when i was sanding out the tool marks

All three for me .

It's partly dictated by the type of pan, and partly determined by what clean utensils are in the drawer at the moment!

All of the above; but mostly metal. It's family heirloom.
I have some "modern" plastic (silicone?) spatulas.

I used to use all plastic but since my daughter started culinary school shes upgraded a lot of my cooking utensils.

It depends what I’m cooking. I mainly use a plastic spatula when frying and a wooden spoon when stirring. I rarely use metal.

Never plastic - silicone on the rare occasions I bake; always wood for stirring hot foods, metal for basting and for lifting.

I have all three, but my favourites are simple wooden spoons. For beating, mixing, folding, and general ease of handling, there are no substitutes.

I use plastic inside and metal for outdoor grilling. I don't use wooden ones at all

Metal

Wooden. I've been mostly wooden cooking utensils for many years now. Except for couple silicone spatula

I typically cook with my phone. It arrives 30-45 minutes later. 🤣

Wood

I prefer wooden mostly yet occasionally I might use metal.

I refuse to use plastic utensils.

Metal. My stovetop cookware is either cast iron or stainless steel. My bakeware is old Pyrex made before they changed its formulation.

I cook everything on a hot rock using my bare hands.

It depends on what I’m making. I use either metal or wood

I prefer wood also

Cook?

So I actually use wood and silicone

Wood wood!

A mixture of allsorts

Mostly metal.

Wooden or silicone

Wood to stir metal to flip.

A combination, depending on what we are making.

Combination, but wooden for stirring.
