Know before you buy
No, this fork is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity and finish of the cherry wood, you should hand wash it with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately.
Yes, to keep the wood from drying out, you should periodically treat it with a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner. This will maintain the finish and prevent the cherry wood from cracking.
At 12 inches long, this is significantly larger than a standard dinner fork. It is designed more as a serving utensil or a specialized tool for tossing salads and serving pasta rather than for individual place settings.
Cherry wood is a dense hardwood, which makes it relatively resistant to absorbing odors or stains compared to softer woods. However, it is best to rinse it promptly after use, especially after handling acidic or strongly flavored ingredients.
Yes, the fork is finished with a food-safe organic oil. It is completely safe for direct contact with all types of food.
