Wooden spoons and chopsticks

Wooden objects are not only beautiful and comfortable, but also harmless, as they do not contain any harmful compounds or substances that can negatively affect health.

Choosing a product made entirely of wood is a reliable investment, as they are very versatile.

You can incorporate wooden spoons and decorative sticks into your daily life as an alternative to standard metal utensils. They can also be used to create captivating home decorations, offer original handmade gifts, create beautiful souvenirs, or even become part of new games for children. 

Material and a bit of history

Wood is a strong but not rough material. With proper maintenance, it can last for years or even decades. It is also one of the most versatile materials from which household utensils such as spoons, forks, chopsticks and others can be made.

Spoons came long before forks. They were created thousands of years ago, going all the way back to the Paleolithic era. Their earliest versions were small pieces of wood used to scoop up foods that weren’t liquidy enough to drink directly from a bowl.

Since its creation, the wooden spoon has been an integral part of a wide variety of cultural traditions. Even in the tombs of the ancient Egyptians, wooden spoons were found alongside all the other gold and silver versions of them, indicating that their owners considered them useful enough to be needed even in the afterlife.

Application and purpose

In the kitchen

In household use, wooden spoons are ahead of all other materials in that they do not heat up to a burning temperature as quickly, do not react chemically with acidic foods, and do not scratch dishes as their metal counterparts do. They don’t melt or give off harmful chemicals or strange flavors when they come in contact with hot foods like plastic.

For better maintenance and to extend their life, you can treat all wooden spoons, sticks and objects with nutty dry oils such as hemp, walnut or linseed.

Folklore

Practically, wooden spoons can be found in every nation. Each region of the world has its own style of making and decorating wooden spoons. Wood carving is also distinctive for every nation, and each spoon has its own meaning.

Even sailors carved wooden spoons to pass the time on the ship during their long voyages. 

Sports

In British and US influenced regions, wooden spoons are given as a prize to the players who finish last on a race.

Plus, it’s better for the environment! You can also buy bamboo straws instead of plastic ones. This way you are not only avoiding the use of plastic in everyday life but also investing in a long-lasting and modern-looking product. Another way to use wooden spoons and sticks is to decorate them and add to your home décor. 

We recommend decorating them using the decoupage technique. For convenience and usability, decorate only the handles. Another option for decoration is using yarn, fabric, and other interesting materials such as sequins and beads. Do that and you will have beautiful decorations for your flower pots or vases. What’s better than making a gift for someone yourself, whether it’s decorative or for use in the kitchen? It doesn’t matter because it is guaranteed to be very special and practical. Moreover, wooden spoons and sticks add warmth and elegance to the interior in their own way. Over time and with use, they become more beautiful and refined, much like wine and cheese.

Caring for wooden spoons and sticks

1. Clean them well after each use. Soak them in a deep bowl of water with some vero or liquid soap inside. They can also be put in the dishwasher, but note that  strong detergents may damage them.
2. If there is any food residue, rub the wooden spoons with a coarser sponge to remove it.
3. Rinse with warm water and let them dry well.
4. One more thing, if you want your wooden spoons to look like new for a longer period of time, brush them once a month with some type of nut butter, preferably walnut and linseed oil. The oil will extend the life of the product. Use only after the oil is completely absorbed.
