Know before you buy
No, these spoons are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the wood and the mineral oil finish, you should hand wash them with mild soap and dry them immediately.
Since the spoons are finished with food-grade mineral oil, you can periodically re-apply a food-safe wood oil or conditioner whenever the wood begins to look dry or dull. This will help prevent cracking and keep the wood hydrated.
The primary difference is the aesthetic and hardness of the wood. Walnut is typically the darkest with a rich grain, Cherry offers a warm reddish tone that deepens with age, and Maple is the lightest, known for its dense, uniform texture.
The 13-inch spoon is ideal for standard mixing and everyday stovetop cooking. If you frequently work with large stockpots or deep Dutch ovens, the 15-inch length provides extra reach and better leverage.
Yes, these hardwood spoons are excellent for high-heat cooking. Unlike plastic or silicone, they will not melt or warp when exposed to hot pans, making them a durable choice for sautéing and stirring.
