I like how the kitchen spoons tell a story of many years.

[@jukio02]

Are wooden spoons safe from bacteria? Do they soak up soap when washing them?

[@disco_life]

Growing up my grandmother and mother only used wood/bamboo cooking utensils. I do the same..

My favorite spoon is between me and my wife, but I don’t want to share an image of that.

[@elpas.6974]

I have used all sorts of wooden spoons, I generally prefer broader and longer ones, as far as I can evaluate based on my experience. I'm eager to see the new wooden spoon design you come up with. What oil would you recommend for wooden spoons maintenance? Thank you.

[@moses420]

Mineral oil

Weirdly enough my favorite spoon is a plastic/metal spoon but only because it was my mom's growing up and my grandmother's before.

I use them for stirring

Does the type of wood a spoon is made from matter? Not a "chef" level spoon but a "mother cooking in the kitchen" type spoon?

[@guitarfreak1711]

yes. Get a hardwood. You dont want a wood that is prone to warping or a wood that is too porous.

I like rusty SpOoNs

and salt absorbtion

[@joshuaolsoncook]

NO PLEASE! NOT THE SPOON!
