Edit:
Oh, do you just mean mixing canned wort? Then as per instructions on the can. Warm the can in a pot of hot water so its pours out easy and rinse out the goo on the walls with some hot, or boiling water. Then when its all in the fermenter with all the colder water seal the lid and roll shake it for 4 minutes that will aerate the wort as well and mix it all well to get an accurate hydrometer reading. Check temp and pitch yeast. I give it another roll/skake to mix in the yeast.
I made stainless steal plugs to seal the airlock grommet for that purpose to roll shake the fermenter.

Everything has to be very sanitary. I prefer the less tools the better for sanitation reasons. Limit the possibilities of infection.
I wont trust a plastic spoon in the brew or a paint stirrer unless they were polished stainless steel, thoroughly cleaned and sanitized but I'm fussier than ever and just throwing thought. Hopefully provocative. All wort sealed inside the sanitized fermenter, 1/3rd head space you can shake it to hell, little bit of exercise, with less worries of contamination.
