wooden spoon

A wooden spoon is a kitchen utensil made from solid wood, commonly used for stirring, mixing, and serving food. It typically has a long handle with a rounded or slightly oval-shaped bowl at one end. Wooden spoons are durable, heat-resistant, and gentle on cookware, especially non-stick surfaces. Unlike metal utensils, they don’t conduct heat or scratch pans. Wooden spoons come in various sizes and types of wood, such as beech, maple, or bamboo, and are valued for their natural look and comfortable grip.
