Teak Cooking Utensil Set, 6 Pieces

Six teak cooking utensils — spoons and spatulas — finished without paint or wax. Teak is the timber boat builders use, dense and naturally oily, which is why it copes with heat and moisture better than most woods used for kitchenware.

The practical argument for wood over metal is simple: it won't scratch a coated pan, and it doesn't conduct heat up the handle, so a spoon left resting in a simmering pot is still safe to pick up. Nylon does the first but not the second.

Why you'll love it

• Safe on non-stick — no scratching a coated pan.
• Handles stay cool — wood doesn't conduct heat the way metal does.
• Dense oily teak — copes with heat and moisture.
• Six pieces — spoons and spatulas for most cooking.

Hand wash and dry standing up. Wooden utensils left soaking split along the grain, and a dishwasher will do it faster.
