Ask HN: Which kitchen utensil gets used most at your office?

I constantly find myself needing to refill my office drawer with forks, yet the spoons and knives always seem to be filled. Does anyone else encounter the same thing at their office's?

Yes. Forks are used frequently. Some people use knives. Most people don't ever use spoons.

At one job, the supervisor would hit up a thrift shop once a year and reload the drawer with forks.

Spoon - oatmeal. I do not usually eat lunch at the office.

Fork is second. Usually when someone brings something in.

I’ve seen no forks at every office I worked at. Makes sense because it is the most useful for a prepared lunch.

We had a problem with disappearing teaspoons in our office at one point. Where were they going? Were people just throwing them away after each use?? (These were regular metal teaspoons)
