If all you need is a spoon, get a Long Spoon with a real handle. If I had a non-stick pot, this is what I'd use for preserving the surface when cooking.

I have one but it doesn't see much use. It's one of the older ones and is a bit over 9" long. I've had it for years, probably predating the BPA-free requirement.
