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

Relax, your spoon didn’t melt. If your soup was hot enough to melt metal, it would have burned through your pot. Apparently though, your soup was hot enough to make the metal bend. Which is what happens when metal gets hot, no need to panic there, but I’m wondering how cheap your Cutlery is. Regardless, unless you’ve been eating with lead utensils, you’re perfectly safe.
