 * I don't see the correlation, it refers to a Chinese [style] spoon. Please sign your comments by typing four tildes like  -- Cold Season (talk) 00:00, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

tiáo gēng, not "diào gēng"
don't know who wrote that originally, but 調 (S:调) is a homograph and heteronym, and the compound for "spoon" 调羹 is ALWAYS pronounced as tiáogēng. - Tai4ji2x (talk) 08:09, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

In Korea?
Are these type of spoons also used in Korea? I mainly remember the long-handled metal spoons, but maybe these also exist.

If so it would be nice to include the Korean term for them. &mdash; Hippietrail (talk) 10:38, 14 March 2014 (UTC)


 * At some point, we can list every foreign term--like a dictionary--for every country that uses this type/style of spoon. I've removed the section. The English term is common anyway. --Cold Season (talk) 07:43, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

To drip or not to drip
You that the flat bottom reduces dripping, but this would only seem to work if the diner kept the flat bottom level to within a fraction of a degree. It strikes me as more plausible that a diner would not be able to maintain perfect levelness and liquid on the bottom would run to the edge of the base and be (somewhat) more likely to drip than it would be from a spoon that has no ridge. Thoughts? —jameslucas ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄  03:28, 27 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello, jameslucas. I'd suggest two things: 1. Remove it as WP:OR, and 2. Compare the two types of spoons. :)


 * Actually, it is totally original research, but I thought I'd add it because it is so, so true. :) To respond to what you said about how it all happens: Yes. One would think, but no. I am not sure about the physics, but I think the flat bottom grabs more or maybe flows to a 2D edge, whereas the bottom of a rounded spoon insists that all liquid is constantly moving downward to a single 1D spot and has no place to go.

 * I opted to remove it, but for my own purposes I'll test your theory when I can! Right now all my flat-bottomed spoons are ceramic (and handmade) and all my rounded spoons are stainless steel, so it's hard to even approximate a scientific test! —jameslucas ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄  19:08, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
