Know before you buy
Yes. Because it is made from smooth birch wood, it will not scratch or damage non-stick, ceramic, or enameled surfaces.
Hand wash the spatula with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately. To maintain the wood's integrity and prevent drying, periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner.
No. Dishwashers use high heat and harsh detergents that will cause the wood to warp, crack, or splinter over time. Hand washing is essential to preserve the life of the tool.
The spatula is designed with a one-piece construction that balances durability with a natural, ergonomic grip. At 12.5 inches long, it provides enough leverage for flipping without feeling heavy or cumbersome.
No. The finish uses food-safe oil designed to seal the wood grain and protect it from moisture. It is completely inert and will not impart any taste or odor to your ingredients.
