The requirement to remove the ladle has a scientific basis, which we will discuss below. However, for some housewives, even a logically explained taboo is not something worth considering. They explain their unwillingness to take out the scoop by the fact that they have left it all their lives and will continue to do so.

Reassure them of what the behavior is fraught with sour food, dysbiosis and damage to utensils - an empty lesson. They are mistresses in their kitchen, and therefore they “know better”.

Those who are willing to listen will find it helpful to know the rational reasons for removing the ladle from the pot.

rational reasons

Unwanted smell

Cover the pot before placing it in the refrigerator. Otherwise, her the contents will either be saturated with the smell of other products, or will act as a source of the flavor itself.

The scoop interferes with this rule. Because of it, the lid does not lie flat, leaving a gap.

Fridge placement problem

A standard kitchen scoop may cause there is simply no room in the fridge for the saucepan.

The long handle of the scoop requires more height between the shelves than a saucepan without it. The problem can be solved by rearranging the shelves, but why bother if you can just remove the ladle?

Rapid cooling

If you leave the scoop in hot soup, the scoop will heat up and the dish will cool down ahead of time.

Bacteria

An unsealed dish placed in the refrigerator acts as ideal habitat for psychrophilic bacteria. They like moderately low temperatures, actively reproduce on refrigerated food. Their presence in food guarantees poisoning and dysbiosis.

smells

Microbial transfer

When spilling liquid products, we sometimes use the ladle to touch the plate. The latter clearly contains germs. By themselves, they are harmless, but transferring them with a scoop to a common pan is not the best idea.

 From the arrival of a new type of microorganisms bpeople spoil faster.

Important! It is best to use only clean kitchen utensils with each new meal.

Ladle washing problems

The plastic white scoop can become discolored from prolonged contact with food containing large amounts of beets, carrots or oil. Some spices are also capable of leaving marks, and it can be extremely difficult to wash dishes from them, and sometimes even impossible.

All of the above does not apply to a scratched or damaged cooker. It, in an amicable way, generally needs to be thrown away. Normally, it is impossible to rinse and rinse such a scoop.

Important! The deformed zone of the ladle becomes a habitat for pieces of old food, microorganisms and detergents.

Folk omens prohibiting a ladle in a saucepan

Cutlery and kitchen utensils, according to the teachings of Feng Shui, you need store horizontally and away from eyes.

Important! If you leave in sight the blade of a knife or the sticking out handle of a scoop, you can trigger misfortune, hunger.

It is also worth remembering that each thing has its own energy. A stainless steel ladle carries the energy of Metal. And this element is in conflict with the Earth - the element of food.

Popular wisdom discourages not only from storing the scoop in the tureen, but also from leaving it on the table.

Important! If the ladle lies on the table, it will attract the attention of an inveterate gossip. She will spread such rumors that she will not be able to “cleanse” for a long time.

A separate sign also exists for a bent or scratched scribble. After each use of it, expect a quarrel with the closest people.

As you can see, there are far more reasons to remove the ladle than to leave it in the pot. Whether it is worth checking the action of each of them, decide for yourself! Better yet, take out the ladle every time you fill the plates!
