Epicurean
Epicurean Chef Series Large Spoon
Best durable stirring tool for home cooks using nonstick cookware.
This large spoon is exceptionally strong yet maintains the warm, natural look and feel of wood. That's because it's made from wood fiber composite, resin-saturated fiber that's compressed and baked to a solid sheet. Lightweight, nonporous, this marvelous material won't scratch nonstick cookware, won't crack, split, or stain and does not harbor bacteria. You'll love its bicolor design for cooking, stirring and serving.
