Editor's Notes
March 25, 2020:
There are various benefits to using wooden utensils instead of metal ones when preparing food. Wooden spoons are resistant to heat, they are made of different types of wood, such as bamboo, that make them environmentally-friendly. They are also appealing to the eye because of the different shades and grains of wood used.
The Vremi Kitchen Set is made from bamboo, and each utensil has a hole for hanging from a rack or even on the wall. The colorful handles set this set apart from others while providing a bright pop of color for any kitchen. The Mondayou Cooking utensils are crafted from teak, which is naturally resistant to bacteria, and also giving this collection an elegant, rich pattern. The Bicb Beechwood set includes 12-inch handles for reaching into the deepest of pots, while boasting construction from some of the sturdiest wood available.
If you are not sold on the advantages of wooden utensils, our rankings for the best cooking utensils might help you decide, and whether you decide on wood or metal, you still need a utensil holder to keep everything organized.
