Usage & Maintenance Tips
- Hand Wash Only: To maintain the structural integrity of the beech wood and prevent it from cracking, always wash these spoons by hand using warm water and mild dish soap. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
- Dry Immediately: After washing, use a towel to dry the spoons immediately rather than letting them air dry, and never leave them soaking in a sink full of dirty water.
- Recondition with Oil: Wood naturally dries out over time. To keep your spoons looking brand new and prevent splintering, rub them down with a food-safe mineral oil or butcher block conditioner once every few months.
FAQs
Are these wooden spoons safe to use on Teflon pans? Absolutely. The smooth beech wood is specifically chosen because it is hard enough to handle thick foods but soft enough that it will never scratch or damage delicate Teflon or ceramic non-stick coatings.
Do these spoons have a chemical coating on them? No, OXO wooden spoons are finished with a safe, natural, food-grade oil to protect the wood during shipping and initial use. There are no toxic chemical lacquers or paints used.
Will the wood absorb the flavor of my food? Beech wood is naturally dense and less porous than other woods, which helps it resist absorbing strong food odors like garlic or onions, provided you wash them promptly after cooking.
