Handcrafted 28cm Deep Soup & Stew Serving Spoon
Measuring 28cm with a deep, generous bowl, this handcrafted Teak Wood ladle is the ultimate tool for hearty soups, winter stews, and punch bowls. Unlike mass-produced kitchenware, each Yompai ladle is hand-carved from a single piece of premium teak heartwood. This means no glues to fail, no joints to trap bacteria, and no plastic to leach chemicals into your hot meals. Naturally moisture-resistant and silky-smooth to the touch, with an ergonomic handle this sustainable wooden ladle is a lifetime addition to any conscious kitchen
The Benefits of Solid Teak Kitchenware
-
Non-Scratch Design: Safe for all non-stick, ceramic, and copper cookware.
-
Heat Resistant: Wood stays cool to the touch, even in boiling pots.
-
100% Non-Toxic: No glues, lacquers, or synthetic coatings.
The "Teak Advantage" for Slow Cooking
-
Heat Resistant & Cool to Touch: Unlike metal ladles that get dangerously hot when left in a pot, teak remains cool, making it safer for long-simmering stews and soups.
-
Preserve Your Cookware: The soft, hand-sanded edges of this ladle will never scratch your expensive Le Creuset, Dutch ovens, or non-stick ceramic pots.
-
Naturally Antibacterial: Teak is world-renowned for its high silica and oil content, making it naturally resistant to water damage, odors, and food stains.
-
Non-Reactive Material: Wood doesn't react with acidic ingredients (like tomato-based soups), ensuring your food tastes exactly as intended—no metallic aftertaste.
-
Single-Piece Strength: Carved from solid timber for maximum durability. It won't bend, snap, or melt like plastic or silicone alternatives.
Common Questions
Is it better than a bamboo ladle? Yes. Bamboo is a grass that is often glued together; these glues can leach into food under high heat. Teak is a solid hardwood that is naturally water-repellent and far more durable, meaning it won't splinter or become porous like bamboo.
How do I clean and maintain my teak ladle? Hand-wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately. To keep the golden grain vibrant and the wood water-resistant, we recommend a light rub with food-safe oil or beeswax once a month.
