Know before you buy
The spoon features a square-shaped head and a specialized scraping edge. This allows you to reach into the tight corners of pots and pans, ensuring you can scrape up every bit of sauce or ingredients that would normally be missed by a round spoon.
Yes, teak is an excellent choice for kitchen tools because it is naturally dense, durable, and resistant to moisture. It holds up well to the heat and friction of daily cooking while remaining gentle on nonstick cookware.
To maintain the wood, hand wash the spoons with mild soap and warm water, then dry them immediately. Avoid soaking them or putting them in the dishwasher, and occasionally rub them with food-safe mineral oil to keep the wood from drying out.
Not at all. The square head is designed to provide better leverage against the sides of the pot, making it easier to stir thick stews or batters. The smooth handle ensures a comfortable grip regardless of the pot's shape.
Absolutely. The design is intended to be a versatile kitchen workhorse, meaning it transitions easily from stirring on the stovetop to serving directly at the table thanks to its polished, vintage-inspired aesthetic.
