Frequently Asked Questions

What are cooking chopsticks used for?
Cooking chopsticks (known as Saibashi in Japan) are longer than eating chopsticks and are used for stir-frying, deep-frying, and handling hot foods with precision.

Are wooden cooking chopsticks safe for non-stick pans?
Yes! They’re smooth and gentle on non-stick surfaces—no scratching, unlike metal tools.

What’s the difference between eating chopsticks and cooking chopsticks?
Eating chopsticks are shorter and designed for meals, while cooking chopsticks are longer (30–40cm) to keep hands safe from heat.

How do I care for wooden cooking chopsticks?
Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, dry immediately, and occasionally oil with food-safe oil to extend their life. Avoid dishwashers and soaking.

Can I use them for deep frying?
Absolutely. Their length and non-conductive wood make them ideal for frying and grilling.

Are these chopsticks eco-friendly?
Yes—sustainably sourced, biodegradable, and a great alternative to plastic utensils.
