You are not to use a metal spoon or bowl when making Amish Friendship Bread because the recipe is made using sour dough. Sour dough is made by mixing yeast, water, flour and mixing it well. You let it raise and there are several more steps to this, and any good cook book will tell you the rest of the process.
The friendship cake is because you take out a portion of this mixture, which is now called a starter, and give it to a friend. You then add more flour and water to your own mixture and let it raise. And you now have more starter to share with the next new friend you meet. It is like having prepetual yeast.
This is what the cowboys used and why they were called old sour doughs. Now the reason you should not use a metal spoon or bowl, is because the metal reacts with the starter and it does something to the starter. Personally I have used stainless steel bowls and my sour dough came out all right. But the best bowls and spoons for making sour dough is made from wood. But DUDE I say go for it. Try it
If you stir, or use a metal bowl, there will be a chemical reaction with the yeast. Some say that it still taste fine, howerver some say there is definitely a metallic-taste to it. I'm not sure if you can for sureeat it, or not.
