Are you a bowl/spatula licker or not?
I'm working from home and also watching The Pioneer Woman and she's making brownies.

I spent a lifetime doing it. As long as it’s licked right away, not a problem at all.

I don't do any licking but I'm positive that the rest of my family does ... they like to live on the edge I guess  |

Yes. It’s the baker’s prerogative. DH does not realize this and therefore gets shooed away with a big wooden spoon.

I absolutely lick it provided the grandkids aren’t here. If they are then I have no chance, they are on it like vultures.

I do. I did as a child. Then learned about salmonella in raw eggs and stopped. Then about five/ten years ago I read that the risk is really low, esp for healthy adults so I went back to licking.
Now I want some brownie batter. Or cheesecake filling/cream cheese frosting. That's the best!

My dd doesn't actually like licking the batters much. Which is good as she is on immune suppressing meds. But if she does, well, she's 18 now, so I don't stop her.

My eggs are only days old with the bloom still on. So my husband gets batter.

Not only am I bowl / spoon licker, there are times I make brownie / cookie / cake just for the batters and never bake them.
Edited to add ~ in over 40 years of doing so, the only time I’ve ever gotten sick from it is when we used to do a day full of cookie baking for Christmas and I ate way too much of it. 😊

Yep! As soon as most of the cookie dough hits the oven it’s open season on the bowl, the left overs, and the beaters and spoon!

Here's my thought on that... how many "body builders" have you seen on tv making smoothies with raw eggs? If it's healthy enough for a body builder smoothie... who am I to judge!? hehe Definitely a batter/dough beater/spoon/bowl licker!  |

Absolutely a bowl/beater/spatula licker. Currently suffering a batter/icing hangover as I baked a cake and a batch of cupcakes yesterday for an event I hosted. You’d think I would learn!😂

Linda I am sure you are correct. I will still lick that spoon. Yum!

Yes, it’s one of the best parts of baking. In fact I’m making chocolate chip banana bread right now.
I would never put the licked spoon back in the batter though. An acquaintance does that as she reasons it’s only for her family anyway.

Linda I am sure you are correct. I will still lick that spoon. Yum! my adult children do too - but I don't let the little one...my policy is that once you're 18, it's up to you whether to risk it or not. |

Yes, if my DD's 2 isn't around then it's mine. DD1 is not so keen on doing so.

I’m on my phone so can’t do the poll, but if I could it’d be “Hell yeah!”

No...not at all. I think raw batter is gross, so no licking. I do sometimes save the beater/bowl for dh if he's around, he loves it.

i usually don't but for the hell of it, i tried a small bit of the chocolate chip cookie dough i mixed up last weekend. BLECH! it was gross and gritty. the cookies were delicious when baked but eating the raw batter was a one and done.

I taste batter but it isn't my favorite, cookie dough, on the other hand, is my one true love and the bowl is mine.

I voted "yes", but in reality, I don't have to worry about salmonella here. Can't remember if there's ever been an outbreak in my lifetime. Don't know what I would have voted if salmonella was a concern here.

Absolutely I do!!! I stopped for a long time after hearing about the risk of salmonella, but at some point I decided I'll take the risk...
