    As others have said - just save that particular spoon for curries, etc.

    A new wooden spoon only costs about 30p :confused:.

    Lemon juice might get rid of the smell but don't know about the yellow!!

    My friend swears by bamboo spoons, apparently they don't stain.

    ONLY thing I find gets rid of curry stains apart from sunlight exposure (which can also remove colour and doesn't always remove it all) is a degreasing spray I got from a £1 shop. Elbow Grease Degreaser. There is a few versions different brand degreasers, usually yellow in colour. Spray on and it turns red/brown then wipes off......found by accident and used it lots since!

    Oh and I have a curry spoon, it's yellow on the end but I only use it for curries
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I've got a wooden spoon that I've had for at least 15 years. It's stirred curries, chutneys, piccallili, as well as casseroles and soups. I love the patina it's picked up.

    I cannot imagine why you'd throw out a spoon just because it has a stain. It won't taint the food.
