THIS DIPPER IS THE CLASSIC UTENSIL FOR EXTRACTING HONEY FROM A JAR. IT'S GROOVES HOLD ONTO THE HONEY AS YOU TWIRL RATHER THAN JUST DRIPPING OFF IF YOU WERE TO USE A SPOON.  ONCE YOU ARE READY TO DRIZZLE OVER YOUR DESIRED ACCOMPANIMENT SIMPLY KEEP THE DIPPER HORIZONTAL TO LET THE HONEY OOZE OFF. AS HONEY IS THE ONLY FOOD THAT WILL NEVER SPOIL, THE HONEY DIPPER CAN LIVE IN YOUR HONEY JAR WITHOUT HAVING TO WASH IT AFTER EACH USE.
