Wooden Spoon and Utensil Care

Tricks to care for wooden utensils

DO NOT immerse wooden spoons in water for longer than a couple of minutes
Wash with hot soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately
NEVER put in the dishwasher
If your spoons are rough and fuzzy you can refurbish them with a brand new steel wool pad. Rub along the grain of the wood until they feel smooth
Rinse well and dry
Oil the wood. Oil moisturizes wood and provides a protective barrier.
Use non toxic oil such as mineral, olive, walnut or coconut oil.
Throughly saturate the wood with the oil and let sit overnight
Rub away the excess and you are done.
Re-treat as needed. This will keep the wood from absorbing food stains and odors

Use only non-toxic oils
