Tips on Choosing Wooden Spoons

Choose the wooden spoon(s). When selecting your wooden spoon, always look for those made from hardwood. These spoons will be stronger and more durable than ones made from pine or other softwoods. Softwood wooden spoons will crack, split, and can absorb aroma and moisture too easily.

1. If you're not sure what type of wood the spoon is made of, ask.
2. Think about supporting a local craftsperson who has made such spoons; they will undoubtedly use quality hardwood, the finishing will be lovelier than mass-produced ones, and you'll be helping to keep their craft alive.
