Frequently Asked Questions
Is this wooden spoon safe for hot soups?
Yes. Teak wood naturally resists heat and doesn’t leach chemicals into your food. It’s perfect for serving and enjoying hot soups, broths, and stews.
Can I put this spoon in the dishwasher?
We recommend gentle hand-washing only. High heat and prolonged moisture in dishwashers can cause wood to warp or crack. A quick wash in warm soapy water and a thorough dry will keep it beautiful for years.
How often should I oil the spoon to maintain it?
With regular use, oiling once every 1–2 months is ideal. Use a food-safe oil such as mineral oil to keep the wood nourished, smooth, and resistant to stains.
Caring for Your Teak Spoon:
- Handwash with mild soap and warm water immediately after use.
- Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth; do not air dry.
- Store in a dry area, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- To maintain its beauty and prevent drying, periodically oil your spoon (every few weeks or when it looks dry) with food-grade mineral oil or beeswax/mineral oil blend.

Important: Never soak wooden utensils in water or put them in a dishwasher, as this can cause cracking or warping.
