stainless steel spoon warped while stirring hot soup

366 viewsChemistryOther

I suck at sciences so can anyone please tell me why my stainless steel spoon was bent when I took it out from stirring my tomato soup for 5 minutes? It’s still bendy now when I tried to put it back in shape. Have I just eaten a bowl of metals? Can cutlery melt/leech? It wasn’t bendy before I stirred my soup, so my health anxiety is going wild now and I’d love someone smarter to explain

Stupid question but is it possible it was bendy before but you did not realize it bc you weren’t in the habit of trying to bend it?! Lots of cheap eating utensils are very bendable.
