Answers:
Who worries about how safe it is to eat yummy, sweet brownie batter, when it's just plain good.

You can lick the spoon but when you eat whole batter you will end up with a horrible stomache ache.Don't ask how i know!!!!

as long as you didnt stick it up your ***

It was my reward for helping my mother.
The main concern would be any raw eggs.
Or course you don't use the spoon afterwards.

I always lick the spoon, sometimes even clean off the sides of the bowl. I haven't been sick or experienced problems from it once.

it is not safe if you have raw eggs in the batter. you risk catching salmonella.

well i wouldnt eat the all the batter but when we were kids we always got to lick the spoon and dip our fingers in the bowl of batter when our mom would make a cake and nothing bad ever happened to us

Licking the spoon probably wont hurt you any. But like Lolo said, the whole bowl will probably make you sick....though it does sound delicious.

There is a risk of Salmonella with the eggs, however if they are pasteurized eggs this risk is not a concern.

There are even new cookie dough shops that have various flavors of cookie dough served like ice cream. They can pass health inspections because they use pasteurized eggs.

i always do it and nothing has happened to me..ive also squeezed a lime and have drunk the juice and nothing happened either!

When I was a kid mum used to always give the bowl and spoon to one of us to clean out.

Totally safe hey A brownie can't kill Ya !!
E-mail me okay senitaportlock@yahoo.com

I wouldn't eat the whole bowl, unless it's vegan or egg-less but, cookie dough always seems to taste best prebaked, so eating a little couldn't hurt.

I know that it taste very good but it taste weird after a while so you can cook some and save some to eat for later

I do that all the time, and it hasnt hurt me yet! Lol.

=]

It's safe to lick the spoon as long as you're the first one to get to it. Why would anyone just eat a bowl of batter? Unless of course you've been doing what I used to do a lot. Then anything tastes pretty damn good.
