Berard Olive Wood Salad Server Hands
Best salad servers for home cooks seeking precision and natural style.
Use these salad server hands to serve your favorite salad with more control. Each server hand fits nicely into your hands so that you can serve your dishes with ease. Unlike normal salad servers, because these don't have handles, you have more control over your motions and are less likely to drop the food you are serving. Each server hand is carved from Olive Wood. Handcrafted out of single piece of olive wood, they feature a beautiful and intriguing grain that makes each piece unique. Olive wood is very dense, it resists odors and stains better than other types of wood. For best maintenance, Berard suggests hand washing in warm water, rinsing, and drying vertically; do not soak or use strong detergents. Occasionally apply vegetable oil, food safe mineral oil, or beeswax to keep the wood conditioned. Do not put in the dishwasher.
