Traditional Tuesday 🥄
Every kitchen I grew up around had one. Usually a little worn and a bit stained, and never far from the stove.
The humble wooden spoon has stayed in kitchens for centuries for good reason:
🍲 It won’t scratch your cast iron, enamel or stainless pots
🔥 It stays cool in your hand, even in a simmering pot
🌿 It’s made from a natural, renewable material
⏳ Look after it, and it’ll outlast you
How to care for yours:
Wash by hand in warm, soapy water. No dishwasher, and no soaking.
Dry it upright straight away.
When it looks pale and thirsty, rub in a little food-safe oil or beeswax and leave it overnight.
Mine is due for a good oiling. 😄
Do you still have a wooden spoon that belonged to your mum or grandmother? Tell me about it below 💛
