[quote=Principe Azheef;#327147;1367506061]Btw ever heard that you should not use metal/steel teaspoon for honey coz it may loss itz acidic base called Methanoic acid/Formic acid which is no good for consumption.[/quote] [quote]Honey should also be protected from oxidation and temperature degradation. It generally should not be preserved in metal containers because the acids in the honey may promote oxidation of the vessel. Traditionally, honey was stored in ceramic or wooden containers; however, glass and plastic are now the favored materials. Honey stored in wooden containers may be discolored or take on flavors imparted from the vessel. Likewise, honey stored uncovered near other foods may absorb other smells -- [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey#Acid_content]Source[/url][/quote] I guess using metal as container is what you're talking about. Because some chefs use metal/steel teaspoon to measure or hold the amount of honey they'll be using.
