OXO Good Grips Wooden Corner Spoon & Scraper

Good quality material

Probably the best kitchen tool I have, the straightened edge of it makes it really easy to scrape along with being quite wide. It hasn't showed any deterioration despite me not treating it particularly well, and will probably last me many years.

It's big and bulky, but since its predecessor's handle simply cracked off that may be an advantage. The corner makes it so much easier to stir things cleanly, and I don't need a scraper to properly empty the pot when I'm done. I would recommend oiling it periodically.

Beautifully crafted, appreciate the wood grains. In the two photos, it’s shown with the wood utensil it has replaced. Big difference in what I can easily mix from previous item. Yes would gift and recommend.

As I've discovered cooking over the last 10 years I have also discovered the utensils that are indispensable, such as a sturdy wooden stirring spoon. Wood is stout but doesn't damage any cooking surfaces, impart any unwanted taste or leach unhealthful chemicals. I had been using a flat edged salad spoon for years until the tip got gnarly and ragged. I got stars in my eyes and bought a pricey Epicurean wood spoon with a flat, tapered handle, black piping and a round edge. I hated it from the moment I first used it. The handle was uncomfortable. Within 6 months, the black piping started chipping off. Last but not least, the rounded edge made it next to impossible to scrape browned bits, a feature I soon learned I loved about my old salad spoon. After doing some research I realized that what I wanted was a "scraping spoon". So for six bucks I took the plunge on this OXO. I am very happy. It’s comfortable in the hand, scrapes the bottom of a pan with ease, and the corner piece really does help scraping around the edges of pans. I also like that it has some depth to actually hold a fair amount of food/liquid for tasting and even serving. I’ve used it countless times in the last month and a half which is a good sign. I highly recommend this spoon.
