Know before you buy
No, this muddler is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the wood, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately.
A flat base provides a larger surface area, which allows you to press down firmly on ingredients without shredding them. This is ideal for releasing essential oils from herbs and juices from fruit without creating bitter pulp.
To prevent the wood from drying out or cracking over time, occasionally rub it with a food-safe mineral oil. This will keep the beachwood conditioned and help it resist moisture.
Yes, the knotted strap is designed for convenient hanging storage, keeping the tool off your counter and within reach. While it is sturdy, it is intended primarily for hanging rather than heavy-duty pulling or carrying.
The ergonomic, contoured shape is designed to fit naturally in your palm, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive muddling. It provides a more secure hold, especially when applying the pressure needed for tougher ingredients.
