i heard b’sheim r’ Moshe heinaman Shlit”a that in Europe, people used a wooden spoon to stir hot foods bec the handle didn’t heat up like a metal utensil would. Naturally, as the year went on, the spoon developed cracks in it, which was a perfect fortress for renegade bits of glatt chometz. Therefore, the spoon would have to be destroyed before pesach, so the bedikah kit manufacturers sent a new wooden spoon to replace the old one getting sacrificed as a korban olah.
