There are several reasons to use Teak Wooden Kitchen Utensils An obvious one is that they are not plastic, they won’t be sitting in a landfill for hundreds of years or breaking down into smaller and smaller parts that end up in the food chain. They are completely biodegradable.
All of the wood used in the making of these products is either sustainably grown or is repurposed wood.
But there are many reasons to use Teak Wooden Utensils
Teak is an incredibly hard wood and is extremely durable, it will last a lifetime with simple care
Teak does not shrink or warp
Teak is water resistant – it is often used in boat decks for this reason
Teak has a very high oil content giving it a very high decay resistance, which means if cared for your teak utensil will literally last a lifetime
Because Teak is so hard and strong it does not splinter or crack and can be safely used to cook with, it does not scratch the pots and pans you use, including non-scratch pots and pans
Teak wood is non reactive, it will not transfer the taste to the food, as sometimes metallic utensils leave food with a metallic taste
Teak wooden utensils being non reactive will not leach chemicals into your food
Teak wood utensils are quiet, they don’t give the metallic sound that metal spoons or spatulas do on metal pots
Teak wood utensils do not conduct heat, if left standing in a hot pot or pan they will not transfer the heat up the spoon to your fingers when you pick up the spoon
Teak wooden utensils are sanded 5 times, the handles are incredibly smooth and comfortable to hold and stir with
Because Teak wooden utensils are so strong, you can use them with any dish, they will not break
Because Teak wood has such high oil concentrations and is waterproof, they are much more resistant to germs and bacteria growing on the utensils than plastic or metal utensils
Our Teak wooden utensils have no chemicals or lacquers or dyes on them, only food safe oils. There is nothing that will leach from them into your food as you cook or eat with them
Care of wooden utensils
Most important is not to put them in the dishwasher. That will over time severely damage the wood due to the chemicals used in dishwashers. To clean simply hand wash in warm soapy water, rinse off and pat dry, then leave out to dry completely.
You may re-oil from time to time with any food safe oil.
