Know before you buy
Yes. Because it is hand-carved from smooth cherry wood, it will not scratch or damage delicate non-stick coatings like metal utensils can.
This spoon is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the wood, hand wash it with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately. Periodically apply a food-grade mineral oil to keep the wood from drying out.
This utensil combines the shape of a spoon with the flat edge of a spatula. This dual functionality allows you to stir, scrape the bottom of your pans, and skim liquids or drain solids with one tool.
As a natural, porous material, cherry wood can absorb strong odors or pigments from highly colored ingredients like turmeric or tomato sauce. Regular oiling helps create a barrier, but some minor staining is a normal part of the wood's aging process.
The spoon measures 12 inches in total length, with a 5-inch handle that provides a comfortable grip for most standard cooking tasks.
