3-PCS 12″ Long Beechwood Wooden Cooking Spoons – Heat-Resistant, Non-Scratch Mixers for Non-Stick Cookware | Sustainably Sourced European Crafting

Amazing I couldn’t find the old cheap wooden spoons with the round handle. The kind you would get 3-5 in a cellophane bag. I hate the flat handles. But these are what I wanted. A bit sturdier than the old kind. I think I won’t break them when stirring cookie dough. So for me it’s a great purchase.

The spoons are fine, but would have preferred three different lengths.

These spoons were affordable and great to have in the kitchen!

How many of us have wooden spoons that were passed on from older family member’s kitchens? We did! So when one of our 60ish year old wood spoon finally stirred its last batter before cracking and breaking, we were left Wooden Spoon-less and unable to cook as our elders had taught us. Needing a new wooden spoon in a hurry, I jumped on Amazon and ordered what appeared to be a set of three brand new Wooden Spoons. While they lack the feel of years and years of lovingly stirring cookie dough, preparing pancake batter, browning ground beef, or spanking naughty children, these brand new wooden spoons appear to be of good quality. They have survived a couple months of use as well as the dishonor of being placed in the dishwasher. While we never have and never will punish ill tempered children using a wooden spoon, these new Amazon purchased wooden spoons appear to be sturdy enough to be used in the kitchen for stirring, browning, or for any other use you might consider to be in compliance with your own state’s child endangerment laws.

Mine were ancient, had been used & washed & used & washed 100s - 1,000s? - of times. Some had cracked cracked (one along an edge & the edge piece had broken off), some stained by foods with any red coloring in them. The worst were the ones that had been left in water too long & were blackened under the surface. Whatever the black substance was, it had penetrated far enough into the wood that even sandpaper didn't remove enough to get down to "clean" wood.So I had to have these, even if for nothing more than their appearance (the old ones are now used for various things in the yard). They're as sturdy as you'd want - not flimsy at all - the length is fine for all but my very deep soup pot, & they don't scratch non-stick cookware. They're fine in the dishwasher, although now, whether washed by hand or in the dishwasher, they're dried right away & hope that prevents the "black stuff."And, once again, Amazon's price beat Walmart's.

I expected a little thicker but for the price point I guess they are fine. Really just needed a wooden spoon with no hold in the end to make my artisan bread with .

"Can I borrow..." she began. She followed with a list of ingredients, each of which I had."Spaghetti sauce?" I told the woman who moved in next door.She smiled and told me that on lonely days she made it to remember her mom.Instead of dining alone, I suggested she save the trouble of carrying it all and show me how to make the sauce. I would make the noodles, I said.Skipping the parts involving mixing the flour for the noodles and slicing tomatoes, we get to the part involving the spoons, the ones you are wondering if they are good enough for your home.We stirred at first separately. The necks are like a thick, uniform stem. At 12 inches, they are long enough for a smaller sauce.We transferred the sauce into a larger pot, and stirred together. I stirred on one side and she, the other, until we found ourselves in the middle.The bowl is shallow. There is enough to move the sauce. It is too thick to eat chili, but suffices for most needs a wooden spoon can serve.Many sauces and gravies are ahead.If your new neighbor knocks, hoping to borrow tomatoes and more, be sure to have all you need, including these spoons, to invite her in.--Brockeim
