Honey Dipper

A honey dipper is a kitchen utensil used to collect viscous liquid (generally honey) from a container, which it then exudes to another location. It is often made of turned wood. Besides wood, they can also be made of plastic, metal, or glass.

Design

The honey dipper is a stick that is narrow at both ends and has deep grooves at one end. It looks like a cylindrical ferrule with a handle. The grooves on the dipper help hold the honey, allowing it to be twisted to prevent dripping. The design of the honey dipper is especially effective for serving honey because it is thick and flows slowly.

Usage

To use a honey dipper, it is dipped into a container of honey, then turned to prevent dripping while being transported. The honey is then drizzled onto the desired food or beverage and the dipper is rotated again to stop the flow of honey.

History

The honey dipper is an ancient tool that has been used for centuries, dating back to the time when honey was one of the few readily available sweeteners. The design of the honey dipper has changed little over the centuries.
