Key Product Details & FAQ
What is this angled wooden spatula best used for?
This spatula is designed for multi-purpose kitchen tasks. The fine, tapered front edge excels at lifting omelettes, pancakes, and fish fillets. The broad, angled profile makes it equally effective for stir-frying, sautéing vegetables, and scraping down pan corners.
Is teak wood safe for non-stick cookware?
Yes. Unlike metal utensils that can scratch non-stick coatings or cheap plastic tools that warp under high heat, solid teak wood is soft enough to protect non-stick and seasoned cookware surfaces while offering structural durability.
How is this spatula crafted?
Each spatula is individually carved from a single piece of sustainably grown teak wood by artisan woodworkers. Because it is carved from natural wood, every piece features unique grain patterns and rich organic tone
Naturally Durable & Food-Safe:
Hand-carved from a single piece of sustainable teak wood. Teak's natural oils make it naturally water-resistant, odor-resistant, and split-resistant without the need for toxic glues, plastics, or chemical lacquer coatings.

Care & Maintenance
-
- Hand Wash Only: Clean with warm, soapy water. Do not soak or place in the dishwasher.
- Dry Naturally: Wipe with a cloth and allow to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
- Restore the Finish: Occasionally rub with a beeswax wood conditioner or food-safe mineral oil to maintain the wood’s natural oils and deep grain. Avoid using kitchen oils like olive or coconut oil. These can become rancid.
