Essential Teak Serving Set: Handcrafted Wooden Ladle, Rice Paddle & Long Spoon
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.
