Washing spoon on Shabbos for the next Shabbos

Question:

I use a spoon specifically for CHOLENT on Shabbos. I rarely use it on the weekdays. If I wash in on SHABBOS, I’m actually washing it for Shabbos but for next Shabbos? Is this CHACHANA, preparing on Shabbos for a weekday. I don’t like looking at dirty utensils.

Answer:

According to most poskim, the prohibition not to prepare things on shabbos is even if tit is for the next shabbos, therfore it should not be done.

Best Wishes
