Know before you buy
Yes. Because these spoons are carved from wood, they are gentle on non-stick surfaces and will not scratch or damage your pans like metal utensils can.
Small spoons (4"–7") are best for tasting or serving condiments, medium spoons (8"–11") work well for mixing and general prep, and large spoons (12"–13") are ideal for stirring large pots or serving at the table.
High heat and the harsh detergents used in dishwashers will dry out the wood, causing it to crack or warp over time. Hand washing is essential to preserve the integrity of the natural wood grain.
You should oil your spoon whenever the wood begins to look dry or dull. Simply rub a small amount of food-grade mineral, olive, or vegetable oil into the surface with a soft cloth and let it soak in.
No. Because each spoon is hand-carved from unique native tree species, variations in color, grain pattern, and shape are expected. You are receiving a one-of-a-kind piece.
