If you try it, I would definitely invest in a long spoon if you know whats good for you.

A wooden, flat ended stirrer works for me, as does a heavy, longer oven mitt. Wooden won't heat up in the hand like a metal implement. I use a whisk for the initial 30 secs or so, just until all of the flour is oil-coated.
