Chopsticks are the most clutch cooking utensils, I check on things in the oven with chopsticks and flip over things when baking with chopsticks, my gf thought it was funny. I eat almost everything with chopsticks, I use a spoon when necessary like for soups or to scoop things but if chop sticks are around, that will be my go to choice of weapon.
No joke. They're more versatile than cooking utensils. I'm always using chopsticks for a variety of reasons, baking included. I feel like other utensils, you have to carefully switch and then you have to deal with the post-cooking clean up. With chopsticks, you're like, "oh cool, since I'm done cooking, I'll just use them to eat now!" - I feel like that's very Asian of me to do. Here's a list of things we do in our home, also:
- Use dishwasher as drying rack (don't worry, we do use the dishwasher for it's real purpose since my husband insists on it)
- Collect rubber bands
- Collect plastic trash bags
- Collect high quality take-out wear to reuse
- No shoes in the house, flip-flops to go in and out the house fast
- My dad used to plastic wrap the remote control to all his gear
- We keep an emergency supply of the following at all times: Sriracha, fish sauce, soy sauce, plum sauce, oyster sauce, etc.
- We have a dryer but my mom has a clothes drying rack that she uses, too
