Abstract

If the bottom of the spoon is rounded, it will only scoop up soup or other liquids from the bowl in a single spot, which is inefficient. [Solution] This invention makes it possible to efficiently scoop food from tableware by making contact with the food on a larger surface area by flattening a portion of the bottom of the outer circumference of the spoon bowl.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, the bottom of the spoon bowl is rounded and makes point contact with the tableware.

Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention makes a part of the bottom of the outer periphery of the spoon bowl flat so as to make surface contact with the tableware.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] When the bottom of the spoon is rounded, it scoops soup or the like in the tableware at a point, resulting in low efficiency.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] The present invention can efficiently scoop food in the tableware by making surface contact by flattening a part of the bottom of the outer periphery of the spoon bowl.
