Wooden utensils are kitchen tools made from wood, commonly used for cooking and serving food. They include items like spoons, spatulas, and forks. These utensils are favored for their durability and gentle touch on cookware, preventing scratches on non-stick surfaces. In addition to being functional, wooden utensils are often considered eco-friendly since they are biodegradable and can be sourced from sustainable materials. Popular types of wood used include maple, bamboo, and teak, each offering unique properties such as strength and resistance to moisture. Proper care can extend their lifespan significantly.
