If you’ve ever cooked with a wooden spatula, you’ll know — it just feels better. The smooth touch of natural wood, the gentle scrape against your pan, and the knowledge that it’s completely food-safe and plastic-free.
But if you’re in New Zealand or Australia and looking for the right wooden spatula — one that’s sustainably made and built to last — here’s what you need to know.

Why Choose a Wooden Spatula?

A good wooden spatula is more than just a kitchen tool. It’s an everyday companion for cooking, stirring, and serving. Unlike plastic or metal, wood is:

• Non-toxic and food-safe — no harmful coatings or chemicals.

• Kind to cookware — it won’t scratch non-stick or cast-iron pans.

• Long-lasting and naturally beautiful — each piece is durable and long lasting.

• Sustainable — especially when made from responsibly sourced wood.

That’s why more New Zealand homes are switching to wooden utensils — to cook naturally and live more consciously.

Buying a Wooden Spatula in New Zealand

You’ll find wooden spatulas in many kitchenware stores across NZ — from Briscoes and The Warehouse to smaller artisan shops. But not all are created equal. Many mass-produced versions use mixed or treated woods, with finishes that don’t last.

If you care about what goes into your kitchen — and want to support artisans directly — it’s worth looking for handcrafted options made with natural oils and solid hardwoods.

That’s where Yompai comes in.

At Yompai.com we bring handcrafted wooden utensils to New Zealand homes — made by skilled village artisans using sustainably sourced wood. Each spatula is shaped, sanded, and finished by hand, then coated with food-safe oil so it’s ready for everyday use.

Make Your Kitchen a Healthier Place

Choosing natural materials in your kitchen isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s a small daily choice that adds up to something bigger. When you replace plastic with wood, you reduce waste, support traditional craft, and create a home that feels calmer and more connected to nature.

That’s the heart of Yompai — making kitchens and homes healthier while supporting artisan communities.
