Know before you buy
No, this scoop is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the teak wood and the mineral oil finish, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and warm water, then drying it immediately.
The scoop is designed for dry ingredients such as coffee beans, lentils, flour, sugar, and spices. Because it is made of natural wood, it is not recommended for use with liquids or highly acidic foods.
Because each scoop is handcrafted from sustainably sourced teak, the natural wood grain pattern will vary from piece to piece. This ensures that every scoop you receive is unique.
To keep the wood from drying out, periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner. This will help preserve the wood's natural luster and protect it from moisture.
Yes, the teak used for this product is sustainably sourced and carries SVLK certification, which verifies the legal and sustainable origin of the timber.
