Know before you buy
Yes, brass is a living metal that will naturally develop a patina with regular use and exposure to air. If you prefer a bright, polished look, you can easily restore the shine using a standard brass cleaner or a mixture of lemon juice and baking soda.
We recommend hand washing this spoon with mild soap and drying it immediately to preserve the brushed finish. Dishwashers can be harsh on brass and may cause the metal to dull or spot prematurely.
Absolutely. Brass is highly heat-resistant, making this spoon safe for retrieving tea bags from boiling water or skimming small portions of hot soup. Just be mindful that the metal handle may conduct heat if left submerged in boiling liquid for an extended period.
The perforations are specifically designed for olives, capers, and small garnishes. While they are perfect for draining brine or oil, very fine ingredients like loose tea leaves or tiny seeds may pass through the slots.
At 8 inches long, the spoon offers a balanced reach for most jars and mixing bowls. The handle is designed to be slim and ergonomic, providing a steady grip for precise tasks like plating or tasting.
