I just bought a pan and the lip to pour is on the left hand side so to pour the contents I need to use my right hand. Thinking about it it seems logical BUT when Im cooking and stirring things - with my right hand, I tend to pour with my left. Im probably still holding the wooden spoon in my right too.

What hand do you stir/flip ect with and what hand wold you us to pour the contents out with?

I stir with my right hand while pouring with my left hand. There is no way I can pour with my right hand and stir with my left hand, because somehow my brain does a complete hissy-fit and my left hand acts stupidly and refuses to stir properly and my right hand starts doing stirring motions while its trying to pour. Can end up very messy.

I can only flip food with my right hand too otherwise it goes against my brain-grain if I try to use my left hand. Funny how the brain acts.

Edited to add a two sided pan is excellent [www.farmers.co.nz]

If it's a big pan and I need two hands to pour, I pour to the left, small pan, to the right.

Genius a 2 sided pan!
I didnt even think there was such a thing.
Thanks

My Hampton & Mason set of 3 cast iron pans from Briscoes has lips on both sides. I love them! The pans, I mean, not the lips. Yes, well, them too, I suppose.

Im still trying to get my head around holding the pan in my right hand and moving the contents with a wooden sppon with my left - it feels so WRONG!
Its something Ive never thought about until now.

Stir and pour with either. Being a lefty righty has advantages. I am not ambidextrous but a close proximity.

right hand

Stephanie D, I'd give my right hand to be ambidextrous!

No Lorna, people often stare as I do things in a "weird" way. I am definitely left for some things and right for others but for some things I have my own way and there are some things that I am hopeless with no matter which hand I use, handwriting is a good example.
