The olive wood cooking spoon is perfect for stirring sauces, stews, soups and gravy. The pointed edge reaches the tight corners of all your pots and pans. Safe on non-stick surfaces, stainless steel, porcelain and glass cookware. Olive wood is a hard wood making it very dense and durable for everyday use. It is resistant to heat due to its oily characteristics, and nonporous so germs and odors are not retained. All products are made from a single seamless piece of olive wood. Each piece is unique. Measures 12" long. Made in Tunisia. To maintain the beauty of this spoon, hand wash with mild soap, rinse in warm water, pat dry with a soft towel and leave to dry thoroughly. Do not soak. Do not put in a dishwasher. To prevent the olive wood from drying out, occasionally polish with food safe mineral oil or beeswax.
