Best Answer

Plastic spoons aren't used for cooking because the heat in the pan might melt them, introducing the plastic to the food, ruining it. It can be used for putting the food on a plate, or for scooping ingredients into a pan, however. Anything that doesn't involve direct heat should be fine.
