I have found that if the container is a large one you can just leave the
spoon in!

Felt the need to share a tidbit!

Weighing out chemicals that tend to slide off the spatulas, scoopulas, ete
drove me to try the plastic spoons used for picnics, etc.

What a delight, could scoop up a large quantity of sodium chloride without
major spills, if desired, wash the plastic spoon for reuse.  These come in
bulk packages, are extremely cheap.

A disposable tool for weighing out chemicals that doesn't break
the bank and large enough to hold a decent amount of chemical, saved
some time there.
