Hygienic utensil

There is provided a utensil such as a spoon, knife, or fork adapted for hygienic usage. The utensil includes a stem portion where a user's hand would typically grasp the utensil and a food manipulating portion. A hook is disposed on the utensil stem. In one embodiment, the utensil is a spoon for use with baby food jars. The hook is formed from the same material as the spoon. The hook allows a user to rest the spoon on the rim of the baby food jar so as to position the bowl of the spoon near the bottom of the baby food jar, a position that is the most position to rest a spoon when not in use for purposes of hygiene.
