    Easy way to dispense honey?

    Ok, I love adding honey to things, but scraping two spoons off is a pain in the neck. Is there any "easy" way to dispense honey?

    Coat the spoon with oil first (no need to glop it on, just dip it and shake it off really well) before measuring out the honey and none of it will stick to the spoon.

    squeeze

    Urm..We often purchase honey packaged in squeezy type bottles/containers.

    The other option is & i'll try to explain this one...My fave cafe has these twisty stick type things that you wrap the honey round & it pours nicely onto toast etc...

    Does this make any sense..?? It's late fri night

    Yep. Amazon calls them "honey dippers" and they work great for small amounts.

    One spoon and one finger?

    I dunno, I've either used squeeze bottles or used tubs and scooped with one spoon that I scraped off with my finger. (then licked off the honey)

    If I'm putting honey on hot cereal I get a big glob on the spoon I plan to eat with and pop the entire shebang into the cereal bowl. The hot cereal melts it free of the spoon.

    If you have a honey pot you can use a honey dipper, but I've never bothered so I don't know how well they work. They seem popular.

    You could also use straight honeycomb. That's fairly neat and you can cut it with a knife. My favorite way to eat honey, but hard to find sometimes.

    I like Knot's suggestion.

    If you want to get all fancy and are in need of yet another kitchen trinket thing, you can always try using this.

    I have one of those. The hole is rather small, so they only work if your house is pretty warm (like maybe over 72F) and the honey is flowing well. Ours worked well in the hot summer before we got air conditioning. After that, it was never really warm enough in the house, and it never worked in the winter for us either, cause the temp stayed between 60-68F.

    I use two pound squeeze plastic bottles, and I reuse them over and over. I eat 3 heaping tablespoons of honey every day. Plus, I like comb honey too!

    Not to derail...but how do you eat comb honey?? They sell it at the local farmers market and I'd like to give it a try.

    I buy 'the bear' too and then reuse the bottle for dish soap (for those of us who still do our own dishes vs. using the dishwasher). :-)

    Yup, the main way I eat honey is with my yogurt. I just dip the clean spoon in and then use the honeyed spoon to eat the yogurt. It doesn't melt off, but it's fun to lick.

    I do the oil thing. Usually because I'm baking bread or something, 2 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons honey.
