Know before you buy
The servers are specifically engineered with a notched or curved profile that allows them to hook securely onto the rim of a serving bowl. This prevents the utensils from sliding into the food or falling out of the bowl during service.
To maintain the integrity of the wood, hand wash these servers with mild soap and warm water, then dry them immediately. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil will help prevent the teak from drying out and keep the grain looking vibrant.
They are best suited for dry or semi-solid foods like salads, pasta, or roasted vegetables. Because they are made of natural teak, they should not be left submerged in liquids or used for long-term storage in acidic sauces.
Yes, these are original vintage Dansk servers designed by Jens Quistgaard. As with all vintage items, you may notice slight variations in the wood grain or minor signs of age that contribute to their unique character.
Yes, teak wood is an excellent choice for non-stick surfaces. Unlike metal utensils, these wooden servers will not scratch or damage delicate coatings on your pots and pans.
