Know before you buy
Yes, the solid walnut construction is gentle on surfaces and will not scratch or damage non-stick coatings.
No, this spoon should be hand washed only. Dishwashers can cause the wood to dry out, crack, or warp over time.
To keep the walnut looking its best, periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner. This prevents the wood from drying out and helps maintain its natural luster.
The spoon is crafted from solid wood, providing a sturdy and ergonomic grip that is well-balanced for both stirring thick sauces and serving.
While walnut is a dense hardwood, it is porous by nature. We recommend washing the spoon promptly after use with highly pigmented ingredients like tomato sauce or turmeric to minimize potential staining.
