Wooden Spoons
Our collection of hand-formed wooden spoons reflects and honors the care that goes into preparing a meal for loved ones. Artisan materials and craftsmanship offer beautiful keepsakes to pass on to the next generation. Available in nine eclectic designs using a mix of high-quality hardwoods.
Why Wooden Spoons?
- Wooden spoons are smooth and less likely to bruise, crush or tear the ingredients as you stir.
- Wooden Spoons aren’t conductive— heat will not transfer to the handle.
- Wooden Spoons don’t scratch, making them perfect for use with non-stick surfaces/pots/pans/skillets.
- Wooden Spoons are non-reactive—they don’t react to acidic ingredients, not changing the color or taste of the food you are cooking (metal spoons can leave a metallic taste and change the color of the food you are preparing).
