What do you use chopsticks for?

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.

Haha, thanks! It's a tip I picked up from soap-making forums when I started making bar soap 😁 The first time I ended up with about a litre of olive oil on the floor rather than in the bowl I was trying to pour it into 😂

Using them now for Wagamama’s shu shiok chicken
Yum

Reporting in. Just used a very pointed chopstick to help clear a shredder jam.

Mending notes within a grand piano

Defending my chilli prawns from DP, obviously.

Distracting the Cat when I need access to his toes to check for grass seeds.

Checking the dead arachnid is actually dead before removing it and putting it in the bin.

Stirring soluble vitamins.

Getting the last bit of crud out of receptacles I can't get my hand in to move the scrubby sponger around.

Hoiking small things out of the gap between the fridge and the countertop.

Lifting things soaking in bleach or in hot water out of the bucket.

Staking plants, dibbing holes for cuttings and making sure the drainage hole in the back of the fridge is clear.

Obviously, these are all special designation chopsticks. I have a proper set of wooden Japanese ones for actually eating with.

Like PPs, clearing out the handheld Dyson and rescuing toast.

I’ve mentioned on a style thread today that I used to wear chopsticks in my hair when I was a teenager

Another Dyson cleaner here. Also there a tiny bit of plastic missing on our magimix lid, so we have to use a chopstick to poke the magimix into action. A new lid would be about £60 or something stupid like that, so we're sticking with a chopstick.

I used to use one to check if the hamster was asleep or dead. I haven't done that for a long time...

This prompts more questions than answers.

I'm wondering about that too....

Staking out plants. Keeping my hair up. Poking the gunk out of the overflow in the back of the fridge. Making egg thing (child is obsessed with omlettes that are like a cross between scrambled egg and omelette that you make in a square pan)

Hamsters, being nocturnal, often look dead in the daytime but they're usually fine, a quick poke will establish if life is present. But one day, he wasn't ...

Don’t they snore?

Keeping ds & dd busy trying to catch flies like in karate kid.

Also to get little stones out of the grooves in trainers. Of course we don’t eat with them afterwards.

Rolling rotis.

I thought of something else too - we sometimes used a pair as something to climb in the praying mantis' enclosure

Popping the stones out of cherries….

Literally only for eating Chinese or Japanese food! I'm surprised at all these things I could do with them

The fan at the back of our oven seizes up between uses, so I poke a chopstick through its grille to get it going.
