the duality between pans and spoons.

it occurs to me that spoons and pans have very similar shapes, despite their nominally separate functions.

people using a spoon when using heroin, however, use it to hold a quantity of liquid that is to be heated, in effect using the spoon as a very small pan. this blurs the boundary in one direction.

however, i'm not aware of any case of anyone using a pan as a particularly large spoon. please write if you have any insight.
