While most people picked up the delicate raw fish with wooden chopsticks, he used metal cutlery. As he speared the toro , I felt as though the blue fin tuna had been killed twice—first by the fisherman and second by the sharp stainless-steel tines. He then dipped the toro into soy sauce and wasabi before finally putting it in his mouth.
With the fork stuck through the delicate fish, the taste of the fatty tuna was indelibly altered. Perhaps because many Asians grew up eating with wooden utensils, we are more aware of the metal taste; after all, wooden utensils are a lot more popular in the East than the West.
Every year I go back to Asia, and each time I find more varieties of wooden forks and spoons, crafted in different lengths and shapes and colors. Finding the perfect wooden spoon or fork is like finding the perfect pair of jeans; it requires time, energy and dedication but luckily no diet. Many of the wooden forks I found were too flaky and broke after a few uses. And many of the wooden spoons were either too shallow to hold much food or too big to eat comfortably.
I especially like the ones with black threads wrapped tightly around the handles; not only are they beautiful, but they also prevent slipping. Although wooden utensils are generally dishwasher safe, I recommend washing them by hand in order to prolong their lives.
I know that I prefer wooden choptsticks to metal ones… both for taste and ease of use. Thank you! I actually got them in Asia. But I plan to launch my online business in a couple of months and will inform you then. Thank you for your interest.
Hi, My e-commerce store is now open. I even get chills when it happens on tv. I feel it in my ears, too. I notice it never happens with cans that have a coating inside. If I do it, my fingernails seem to vibrate and that sensation is awful. Yeah, I keep stainless cutlery away from aluminum plates for the above reasons.
I do not like the taste, and had decided long ago confirmed here, YAY : , that aluminum sticks at the molecular level to the utensil, which, when touched with saliva, forms a battery…. However, this means I also do not like to use silverplate forks, for the same reason. I can taste it if I hear it being ripped apart in another room. Almost everything leaves a terrible metalic taste in my mouth and makes my tongue tingle.
I was looking for some type of remedy because I love my new rung and want to be able to wear it. As always no help on google…. I found this link from a dentist explaining the phenomenon. Fascinating post. Interesting about how it saps energy and can be cause of unneeded stress as well. Great link! Nice Blog! Very Informative content. Stainless steel is really a good material for cutlery sets. Thanks for sharing this.
With this, you can also find more products of stainless steel on Venus Industries. Venus Industries is working since in this field. I have the same issue. When I eat I can immediately tell if the utensil touched or scaped against metal or aluminum.
I keep plasticware in my purse. Just wish there was a good explanation for it. I keep and extra fork up my sleeve for fancy dinners at my moms. My family thinks im nuts, but it just happened to my son he has no metal fillings. Silver forks or spoons are so terrible- I made a pot roast and picked one up by mistake to try it. I no joke threw the spoon and the spoonful of pot roast right into the trash as soon as I put it on my lips it was instinct haha.
I too keep a fork with me haha. Do you sneeze when you see the sun or bright light? I have a theory that they are connected. Bad manners are better than that damn taste. Probably also explains why I think canned Coke is disgusting, yet nobody else I know notices any difference at all…. Looking for information on this today. Was drinking a beer today, in my new Yeti Koozie, and had the same problem, but much milder.
Anyone had this happen before, with their Yeti? This post was extremely interesting, particularly because I was looking for thoughts on this topic last Thursday. Can we narrow who this happens to? How many people have metal in their mouths? I can also smell the presence of ants you can see a description here! This is an odd question but do any of you as well as tasting metal, do any of you sneeze when you see a bright light?
I am a researcher and I think there is a connection between the two. I did not realise so many people suffer from the same thing as me. I thought I was the only one this is my first time Google in it. HAHA, this post is exactly what I needed! I could just say ditto to all these responses. I always take food out of the restaurant take out foil containers and put it on a plate before I eat it.
I also HATE pies made in those tin pie pans. Yes, to the metal sound sensitivity as well. I have experienced the same problem for years… So amazing to see others with the same issue. Your email address will not be published. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Notify me of new posts by email. Skip to content Ever since I can remember, I have had a peculiar sensitivity — when a fork or piece of stainless steel cutlery in general has recently come into contact with aluminum, I find the fork to have a most unpleasant taste.
Thank you so much for this response! I have always had this problem and no explanation for it. If we rule out the skin then the difference in resistance would likely be rather close. Happens to me as well. I need a new fork or everything I eat with that fork has the taste. I just wish I knew exactly what it is! I almost throw up when I hear a fork or knife scrape across a plate, so yes, definitely for me. No — metal on metal doesnt bother me to hear — but wood on cardboard!!!!! Yes I do. Yes they make my arm start to ache, especially things like the Fitbit or Apple Watch.
Then when I touch the piece of aluminium in my mouth with my fork I can taste the electricity… Battery in my mouth! Me too, me too! Fellow Magnetos, unite! I have this same condition or feeling. Makes me think aluminum is not healthy for me to use.
I do not like the taste, and had decided long ago confirmed here, YAY : , that aluminum sticks at the molecular level to the utensil, which, when touched with saliva, forms a battery… However, this means I also do not like to use silverplate forks, for the same reason. Only sterling for me! And me, I could tell you which ones had touched metal whilst blindfolded.
What a weird world we live in! I have a few theories as to why this might happen, care to swap? I have found my people!!! Thank you all. Yeah, me too!
But it is. Then in the cutlers of Sheffield found a way to cover a layer of silver over copper, and so use much less silver to produce a whole canteen of cutlery. Called silver plate, this allowed the growing merchant class in Britain and elsewhere to eat with only the minimum of oral displeasure. Then in with the discovery of electricity, electroplating was born.
This made silver-plated cutlery even more affordable, and so the middle class could have silver, and eat with dignity. Nevertheless the problem remained: silver still had a distinct taste. Napoleon III had the money to try using aluminium which, although mostly unreactive because of a protective oxide layer, discolours easily. This is partly because the shine and glitter of cutlery are an important part of the experience of eating.
A polished spoon speaks of cleanliness in a way that no matt plastic surface can. It was a metallurgist called Harry Brearley who made the breakthrough, and in doing so revolutionised every cutlery drawer in the world. In he had the job of making better steel alloys for gun barrels. One day he walked through the lab and saw a bright glimmer in the pile of rusting rejected specimens. He fished out this specimen and realised its significance: he was holding the first piece of stainless steel the world had ever known.
