Level 4 – Pureed

The spoon tilt test is used to determine the stickiness of the sample (adhesiveness) and the ability of the sample to hold together (cohesiveness).

When doing a spoon tilt test, the food should:

1. A full spoonful must plop off the spoon if the spoon is titled or turned sideways

2. Be cohesive enough to hold its shape on the spoon

3. A scooped mound may spread or slump very slightly on a plat
