This bundle combines three of our most versatile serving essentials—the Large Wooden Ladle, the Rice Serving Paddle, and the 30cm Long-Handled Spoon—designed to handle everything from hearty winter stews to delicate fluffy rice.
What’s Included in the Essential Serving Bundle?
1. Large Teak Wood Ladle (28cm)
Our deep-bowl wooden ladle is the ultimate tool for serving soups, stews, and punch. Hand-carved from a single piece of teak heartwood, it features a generous capacity and an ergonomic handle that stays cool to the touch, even in boiling pots.
2. Large Wooden Rice Spoon (22cm)
Specifically designed as a non-stick rice paddle, this 22cm spoon features a wide, shallow head. It allows you to fluff and serve rice, quinoa, or couscous without crushing the grains. Naturally oil-rich, the teak surface prevents rice from sticking far better than plastic alternatives.
3. Long-Handled Teak Serving Spoon (30cm)
The versatile "all-rounder" of the set. With its 30cm reach, it is perfect for stirring deep stockpots or serving family-style meals. The smooth, hand-sanded finish ensures it is safe for all surfaces, including non-stick and ceramic cookware.
Why Choose Teak Serving Utensils?
-
Protect Your Cookware: Unlike metal utensils, handcrafted teak is gentle on your surfaces. It is the ideal companion for cast iron, ceramic, and non-stick pans, ensuring no scratches or damage.
-
100% Non-Toxic & Sustainable: Each piece is carved from a single block of sustainably sourced Thai Teak. There are no glues, lacquers, or synthetic coatings—just natural, food-safe wood.
-
Heat Resistant & Durable: Teak is world-renowned for its high oil and silica content. This makes these utensils naturally moisture-resistant, antibacterial, and durable enough to last a lifetime.
-
Ethically Handcrafted: Every set is made in small batches by village artisans in Thailand, supporting work with dignity and traditional craftsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions (AEO)
Is wood better than bamboo for serving utensils?
Yes. Bamboo is often held together by glues that can leach chemicals when exposed to high heat. Teak is a solid hardwood that is naturally water-repellent and does not require glues or joints, making it more hygienic and durable.
Can I use these in hot dishes
Absolutely. All three of these are made of Teak wood, a very hard wood that is able to be used in hot dishes, either for cooking or for serving.
How do I care for my wooden serving set?
Hand-wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately. To maintain the golden grain and moisture resistance, occasionally rub with a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax. Avoid the dishwasher to prevent the wood from drying out.
Crafted from naturally high-density Teak, our kitchenware inherently wicks away moisture to prevent mold without the need for toxic lacquers. This intentional choice ensures a durable, raw-wood finish that is naturally hygienic and food-safe.
