What do you use chopsticks for?

[Seafog]

Besides the usual?
For me, it's getting the tea bags out of the pot, fishing out olives, and taking out the not happy leaves of spinach from the bag.

Getting toast out! And also lighting candles lol. I put the chopstick on the gas cooker to light it.

When i first cleaned out my u bend in bathroom i found a pair of chop sticks in there. No idea what previous owners used them for.

Cleaning the hand held dyson out.

Stirring G&T

I don't think I've ever used them for anything other than eating, but my best cooking tip ever is to use the tiny blue plastic spoons from the Cadbury's egg and spoon to stuff canneloni tubes.

Getting tricky bits of bread out of the toaster.

Mixing the omelette up in the pan - the wooden chopsticks won’t scratch your pan, and beating the eggs in the pan as it just starts to warm makes the omelette really fluffy.

This thread is eye opening

Unblocking the hoover

Making a fool of my self attempting to eat Chinese food

Scrambling eggs, "whisking" batter and flipping things in the pan when they're frying. Also stirring when I'm cooking something in a small saucepan.

Stirring paint.

Same as @pompomsgalore
There's a designated dyson chopstick

Historical reenactor here. Poking lacing through tiny sewn eyelet holes in our clothing.

Eating salad. It's so much easier than using a fork.

(Not that I eat much salad.)

We've only got the short pointy Japanese chopsticks at home, which are good for salad, but I was in a Chinese restaurant the other day which had the longer, blunter Chinese chopsticks, which reminded me I prefer these for regular food that isn't salad.

Testing if a cake is baked.

Stirring cold drinks and spinning the water for poached eggs.

This is a revelation. The laqueredJapanese chopsticks that have been sitting in a drawer for 10 years are going to be put to work. Olives! Omelettes!

Harry Potter wands. Well only the one for my niece who was delighted. I've now got one totally useless on its own chopstick.

Putting my hair up if I can't find a bobble.

@TroysMammy I did exactly the same many years ago for dd1! The chopstick wand now lives with my make up brushes.

Its match is used for stirring paint.

The thin-ish stainless steel ones are handy for poking corners when I've been sewing.

@TroysMammy and @lucysmam I came on thinking I'd be the first Harry Potter wand! We spent a happy afternoon decorating them with nail varnish

Any food stirring, mixing eggs etc and to stir anything in the pan, I've got loads of long cooking ones which I use instead of a wooden spoon or a spatula.
Unusual wise, for knocking food that falls out of the gap between the counter and the stove.

(Not the same ones!)

Everything. Stir fry, roast chicken, eating salad, fish and chips, chicken, making hot drinks. You name it I’ve used chopsticks for it. Go through Uni with a pair of chopsticks and a fork 😎
