FAQ
Q: Does rice stick to this wooden spoon?
A: Teak has a naturally high oil content and is sanded five times for a silk-smooth finish. While no natural wood is 100% "non-stick" like Teflon, many find that a lightly oiled teak paddle releases rice much more easily than other wood types.
Q: Can I use this for stirring hot stews and curries?
A: Yes. It functions beautifully as a heavy-duty cooking spoon. It is heat-resistant and will not leach chemicals into your food, even when used in boiling liquids.
Q: How do I prevent the spoon from drying out?
A: Hand-wash with mild soap and dry immediately. To maintain the grain's deep golden hue, simply rub with a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax every few months.
