Know before you buy
Yes. Because it is made from wood, it is gentle on non-stick surfaces and will not scratch or damage your cookware coatings.
This spatula is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash it with warm water and mild soap, then dry it immediately. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner will help keep the wood hydrated and prevent cracking.
Absolutely. The thin, flat edge is designed to function effectively as a bench scraper for dough or chopped vegetables, making it a versatile tool for both prep work and cooking.
Katalox, or Mexican Ebony, is an exceptionally dense and hard wood. This makes the spatula highly resistant to wear, heat, and moisture, ensuring it maintains its shape and integrity much longer than softer woods like bamboo or maple.
No, the head is rigid. This rigidity is intentional, providing the necessary leverage for scraping the bottom of pans and flipping heavier ingredients.
